Críticas:

‘Smiley’s achievement is to communiate so successfully the failure of communication. She has anatomised a network of relationships, focusing with almost impossible subtlety on the gaps between people.’
Lesley Glaister, The Times

‘Entirely gripping... This book is so alive in its detail that you can practically smell the tack and the straw and hear the animals shifting in their stalls.
