Early Warning
Jane Smiley
Gripping family saga. The phrase "a great novelist at the height of her powers" is so overused, but for once here it really is true.The Times
Phenomenally powerful . . . Her cast is big, and growing all the time, but Smiley has a remarkable grip on all her characters . . . the third instalment can't come soon enough.Guardian
There is a great deal to enjoy, and it's a novel in which many readers will happily lose themselves.Scotsman
