This image gives way to another - a hanging corpse with violets stuffed in its mouth - which leads us into a maze of beguiling paths and wrong turnings, disappearances and revelations, unaccountable motives and cryptic deeds, as this compelling mystery swerves towards a starling vision at its centre.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nA remarkable and brilliant work of fiction...the imaginative power of the novel is astounding, the technical virtuosity and structural daring equally so ―\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Times\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis altogether admirable novel serves, as all literature should, the forces of subversion. It is a worthy companion to\u003cbr\u003e\nThe French Lieutenant's Woman, which does the same thing, but bolder in its experimentation and hence more notable as an artistic achievement -- Anthony Burgess ―\u003cbr\u003e\nObserver\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCompelling and passionate fiction...
