Synopsis
McGrath has written a quite marvellous novel; unsensational and yet slowly shocking, rich not in its surface activity, since its prose is plain and unruffled, but in the tormented depths of its spirit. The complexity and richness of the novel spring, I think, from the oldest and least dispensable of the novelist's skills, the analysis of psychology; a skill which, we are temporarily persuaded, leaves the abilities of his hapless characters far behind.
