An ambitious and successful novel...it is an extremely perceptive account of the political and cultural situation of a colonial country and of an individual who is produced by that situation...the observations and descriptions - London boarding houses and pubs, childhood dreams, the life of Isabella, Singh's first sight of snow...all these are done with great skill and Mr. Naipaul never writes without distinction and poise.
