Reviews
A deliciously sophisticated engine of literary darkness. Jonathan Franzen's Book of the 2010 - The Guardian
Lucidly written and with a pitch-perfect ear both for contemporary mores and dialogue, The Privileges is entertaining - and morally ambiguous - The Economist
... a deliciously sophisticated engine of literary darkness, seducing the reader into sympathy with a young Manhattan couple whose ascent to mega wealth then takes them beyond the reach of anybody's sympathy. Strong novels for a deep recession. Jonathan Franzen - The Guardian
