A powerful description of a man's relentless decline
Ian Critchley, Sunday Times
A sordid tragedy that makes us for the thousandth time question the worth of human existence. The impression remains with the reader that it is the work of a woman who has the strength of one of the masters like Balzac or Dostoyevsky
New York Times, 1930
Her deceptively simply and understated style is best suited to shorter fiction: her touch is light, but with an underlying darkness that bears witness to exile, marginality and existential frustration
Aamer Hussein, Independent
Striking first work, sensitively translated by Sandra Smith
Sunday Telegraph
This is a writer of rare power, make no mistake
Evening Standard
