Recenzii
under the age of fifty has now stepped onto the stage' A. N. WILSON, Evening Standard
A Vicious Circle exposes the corruption of London's journalistic circuit, the horrors of our hospitals
and slums, and the transformations caused by motherhood. Gripping, tender and fiercely
funny, it has been instantly recognised as a modern classic about the way we live now.
'It's like Dickens without the long-winded bits. It makes you laugh, it makes you blub
. . . an excellent and entertaining read' VAL HENNESSEY, Daily Mail
Line after line of sparkling malice...a fierce and funny book
A novel of rare intelligence and ambition...Funny, insightful, beautifully plotted
It makes you laugh, it makes you blub...an excellent and entertaining read
A plot of marvellous intricacy...it provokes peals of horrid laughter
Combines wit, panache and extravagance with a penetrating moral sense...delightfully readable and not a little disturbing
A Vicious Circle has the zest and mordant wit of an early Evelyn Waugh and it is a testament to Craig's talent that the characters leap off the page despite their often cartoon-like grotesquerie . . . In an age in which we are seriously lacking comic novels with bite, A Vicious Circle is a wonderful tonic - a work that makes you cry with laughter but also eats unforgettably into your soul
An excellent novel
A brilliant disquisition on the way we live now...No wonder some people mention it in the same breath as Vanity Fair. Its treatment of ambition, of social rise and fall, warrant the comparison...a hugely entertaining book
