`This novel is easily described as wonderful . . . THE SORROWS OF AN AMERICAN feels like a very personal story and is all the more intimate for it . . . her skill lies in convincing the reader that we have seen right inside someone`s soul` (Observer )

`Beautifully thought through, deeply serious and enormously intelligent` (Guardian )
