"'A brilliant tale of doomed love' (Observer) 'Shriver has a terrible gift for laying bare for us the emotions that lie just beneath the skin. I doubt that there is any thoughtful woman who does not recognize herself somewhere in Shriver's writing' (Lisa Jardine, Financial Times) 'So fearless that, although readers may not sympathise with her, they'll understand why she's driven to destroy what she loves' (Metro) 'As taut as a well-strung racquet' (Marie Claire)"
