The Times
This wartime novel of ordinary Londoners is atmospheric and buzzing with electricity... a spirited portrait of lives thrown into turmoil by the Great War
Daily Express
Like the recent novels by Ian McEwan and Sarah Waters, <i>In the Dark</i> successfully modernises the past. By focusing on life's murkier undercurrents... the characters come to seem appealingly familiar
