Boyne writes with consumnate ease, and is particularly good at drawing the indecently rich world of the pre-revolutionary Romanovs.
Independent
Boyne is a skilled storyteller...his novel is an exciting, fast-paced story that compels the reader through its 70-year span...his gifts are for deft plotting and strong, occasionally very funny dialogue...absorbing and richly satisfying.
The Times
John Boyne has a talent for bringing big historical events to life...Boyne has skilfully drawn a living, breathing character who not only witnessed one of the greatest events of the 20th century but also had his own part to play in how the dramatic tale unravels.
