Supremely entertaining." -<i>The Washington Post Book World <p/></i>"Boyd has an exceptional ability to tell a really compelling story, in dense imaginative detail, about characters with complex, and convincing, emotional lives. . . . I've already read this book twice and probably shall again. Of how many novels can that be said?"--Peter Green, <i>Los Angeles Times Book Review <p/></i>"The sort of rare novel that redeems the essential purpose of prose fiction. . . . A high celebration of the plain fun of a life lived with relentless appetite and reasonable grace."--<i>The Baltimore Sun <p/></i>"Entertaining and moving. . . . Can be read with sheer pleasure not only for the delicacy of its emotions but for the truth of its perceptions. Like saying goodbye to a good friend, it's hard to see this brilliant novel come to an end." --<i>The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette <p/></i> "A wonderful character--and a wonderful book. . . . Boyd persuades you that you've read the confidences of a real, flawed, marginal character battered by every malice and caprice of 20th-century history. " --<i>The Seattle Times <p/></i>"A pleasure front to back, and a fond tip of the bowler hat to the upper-class fiction spawned by a long-gone world."-- <i>Newsweek <p/></i>"One of the most skillful and appealing writers at work today."--<i>The Atlantic Monthly <p/></i>"A novel of deep humanity and insight."--<i>Newsday<br></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>William Boyd was born in Accra, Ghana, and attended University in Nice, Glasgow, and Oxford.
