''The great unbreakable wild horse of the 1960s British literary stable.'' Rose Tremain
''A triumph of economy and pungent effect; a brilliant insight into the social rigidity of English provincial life ... A scathing, funny, occasionally tragic revenge on a time and a place.'' Penelope Lively
''Golding depicts with subtle skill all the pains of growing up and growing oldHe treats us to some superb comic episodes.'' Daily Telegraph
''Golding''s most approachable novel and a curiously personal one, that returns to the mind again and again as if the shames and idylls were one''s own.'' Guardian
''Neatly drawn, funny and touching . . The snap, the tang, and the tension in Golding''s prose is always a pleasure.'' Harper''s
