Black Box Reviews

"There is no novelist writing today who catches the feeling of the moment more surely than Amos Oz" * Scotsman *
"Here is a writer unafraid of displaying the full spectrum of the emotions, and a writer - be it noted - who actually seems to have some faith left in the future" * Guardian *
"Shows to brilliant effect the tenacity of non-love and the power of separation" * Observer *
"A remarkably moving novel, conveying newly the tensions of human needs where politics invades sexual love" * Times Literary Supplement *
