"Sensitive readers will realize at once that the story of Lord Gort is one of those tales that, once begun, demands to be finished. . . . Each of these glimpses of men and women in wartime is as perfect as a pearl; Lord Gort's journey is the single black thread on which the precious beads are strung." "Publishers Weekly""
"Westall's writing has always been strong and vivid but he has rarely written as confidently as this." "Times Literary Supplement""
