"It's Hiller's evocation of the war through a teenager's eyes that gives this novel both depth and gravitas."

Literary Review
"With this taut follow-up to his much-praised Sabra Zoo, Hiller recalls the cool detachment and compelling eye for the ordinary detail that characterised the early thrillers of Graham Greene."

Independent on Sunday
"Hiller’s characters are satisfyingly complex and their jittery energy is vividly realised. This darkly humorous, often harrowing novel demonstrates that in the chaos of conflict there are no easy or obvious decisions."
