FROM THE CRITICS

Timothy Foote

"Far more event htan E.M. Forstr, in whose long literary shadow he has to work, Paul Scott is successful in exploring the provinces of the human heart." -- Life

Philadelphia Inquirer

"An epic of genius."

Webster Schott

"Magnificent....Scott throws us into India, wretched and beautiful. He makes us become his people, sometimes by grinding us down under their anguish. I cannot think of anything worht knowing about the Raj that Scott hasn't told me....His contribution to literature is permanent." -- New York Times Book Review
