A masterly and delightful book (The Sunday Times)
A fine book ... extremely well written. (Independent)
A marvellously gripping, stylish and intelligent adventure story ... completely fresh and original. (Sunday Express)
A wondrous journey into the interior of the African spirit, cooly humorous and thought-provoking ... A masterly and delightful book. (The Sunday Times)
'Dodging the vested interests of the Ngwenya clan, his wayward wife Magdan and the colonial dinosaur Jumbo Munroe, the narrator embarks on a quasi-biblical quest that owes more to Waugh and Ballard than Rider Haggard, a tale that hits the ground running and continues at a vigorous pace. This is one of the shrewdest and most diverting novels about Africa one could hope to read.' DAILY TELEGRAPH
