An up-to-date version of 'A Room of One's Own' . . . I suspect it
will be quoted for many years to come

Superb sharpness and originality of imagination. It is feminist and
political while being an inspiring work of writing . . . She writes
on the high wire, unfalteringly

Levy's strength is her originality of thought and expression

An exciting writer, sharp and shocking as the knives her characters
wield

One of the few contemporary British writers comfortable on a world
stage

A writer whose anger and confusion in the face of the world
transform into poetic flights of fancy . . . which always feel
marvellously right
