Industry Reviews "To every life, Mr. Golding seems to say, comes such a crossroads; the way we trace our steps to it, we shall never find our way back home. The hope he offers is an austere one, proper to our times; but he has looked closely at the darkness of the human heart, and there is authority in his consolation." Mary Renault
