Critic reviews

'A superbly written claustrophobic account of power that corrupts private and public life and of guilt that becomes obsession.'
'A small masterpiece.'
'A novel as elegant in construction as in style…Serious, moving and often very funny indeed.'
'An astonishing study of forms of guilt, laced with a thread of detection, and puckering now and then into outrageous humour.'
'Thoroughly gripping and beautifully written.' (Margaret Forster)
'Excellent, profound.' (Alan Hollinghurst)
'Swift’s central strength as a writer is his integrity. Story an character are treated with a seriousness and respect that while allowing for the oddity of human behaviour – Shuttlecock is thoroughly and beautifully odd – always honours them.'
