This book describes the panic of losing a child. The engulfing destructive pain is brilliantly explored
Alison Steadman, Week
It is marvellously written, moving, serious, readable... If you want to be appalled, refreshed, exhilarated, enlivened - read it
Sunday Times
The Child in Time is an extraordinary achievement
Guardian
His best work to date
Irish Times
Spooky...a wonderful novel
Observer
His masterpiece
Christopher Hitchens
Artistically, morally, and politically, he excels
The Times
The Child in Time is a dense, atmospheric book as much concerned with philosophical debate as with plot.
