Retains all the brooding menace and enigmatic mystery of the original

The oustanding virtue of Mrs de Winter is the elegance of its style... Susan Hill, winner of both the Somerset Maugham and Whitbread prizes, ignores the lush emotionalism of the original, sacrificing psychological menace for a fresh, modest lyricism which suits both her story and her times...dignified and respectful

Splendid... A very good ghost story

Susan Hill's imagination is a force to be reckoned with

Done excellently, with professionalism and panache

Beautifully written

Susan Hill is a wonderful writer... Mrs de Winter is magnificently atmospheric, with everything kept on the brink of the occult - revenants, haunted houses, gothic storms... Mrs de Winter doesn't only live up to Rebecca, in terms of strangeness and spooky lyricism Hill surpasses it

Tom Wolfe...remains The Dude when it comes to surveying the crazed, bracing absurdities of our national life… Back to Blood is marked by both Wolfe’s stylistic freneticim and his formidable reportorial gifts… Beginning his ninth decade, Tom Wolfe has brio to burn.

Mr Wolfe’s satirical aim at the debauchery and landscape of avarice and arrogance is gleefully accurate.

[A] huge, very loud [new novel], MOSTLY IN CAPITALS, from Tom Wolfe, Back to Blood.

He is, still, at his best in the thick of a crowd, a master of group dynamics, at once in breathless close-up and sudden wide-angle.

For Christmas, I will give to dinner party conversationalists:... Tom Wolfe’s Back to Blood.

What really drives all this is Wolfe’s extraordinary style.

As broad and panoramic as ever.

There are some dazzling satirical riffs and politically incorrect laughs.

Wolfe’s prose is as punchy as ever.

Energetically set against the deco licentiousness of Florida’s steamiest party capital.

Class, family, wealth and corruption are all themes in this examination of life in Miami.

[Tells] us about the way we live now... enjoyable.

Classic Wolfe. A delight

Epic, hectic, satirical… It’s scathing, funny, and has great set-piece scenes

Contemporary Miami gets the Wolfe treatment in a grand, sweeping satire on race, class, lust and immigration

Wonderful

Parks is one of the best living writers of English, and this book is so good you don't want it to end

If, like me, you relish Italy, railways and grumbling, this is the most transporting book

A fun, informative and detailed journey
