Reviews
marvellous, sweeping...The cruelties of war, the desperation, the rape and the pillage, the great rolling river of refugees and freed black slaves all comes indelibly to life. SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Doctorow has created a commanding, timeless meditation on war... Modern and prophetic, it is an astonishing achievement GUARDIAN An entirely convincing recreation of a violent, frantic time, in which his cinematic technique of rapid, short scenes, works wonderfully DAILY TELEGRAPH Historical fiction is always a difficult balancing act for an author, particularly when he is incorporating the thoughts and actions of famous historical figures. Thankfully EL Dotorow is up to the task... RTE GUIDE
