Driven by atmosphere more than plot, the language is as clear as spring water ? OBSERVER

Richly nuanced and empathetic . . . a vivid modern fable ? GUARDIAN

Like a wide-angled lens, Miller's novel fits much into a small frame - Augustown itself, Rastafari, gang and police violence, religious opposition to colonial rule - but still gives an impression of space ? DAILY TELEGRAPH

Truly panoramic ? SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Miller's storytelling is superb, its power coming from the seamless melding of the magical and the everyday, which gives his novel a significant fabular quality ? Sunday Times
