The first great masterpiece of the globally warmed generation. Here is an American classic which, at a stroke, makes McCarthy a contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature.Andrew O’Hagan
McCarthy conjures from this pitiless flight the miracle of unswerving humanity. Gripping beyond belief.Chris Cleave, Sunday Telegraph
One of the most shocking and harrowing but ultimately redemptive books I have read. It is an intensely intimate story. It is also a warning.Kirsty Wark, Observer Books of the Year
So good that it will devour you. It is incandescent.Daily Telegraph
