Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-29 00:00:00 Cynthia Guerruccio Conrad's moral imagination is unparalleled, except by Henry James, of whose influence this book bears some signs. Also breathtaking in its technical handling of the mechanics of narrative. Anyone wishing to study or write a novel could do no better than to start here.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-07-24 00:00:00 Stacy Wilt Enjoyed it thoroughly for its excellent psychological portrayal. It had just a touch of the thriller without being sensational. Poignant, and reminds me of some real-life situations, not least of which is the Madoff scandal. I haven't read any Conrad since high school, so this was a nice reintroduction. A little hard to follow at first, due to layers of narration, but worth the effort.
