What The Reviewers Say

Jennifer Szalai,
The New York Times Book Review
An entertaining memoir.
Katrina Gulliver,
The Wall Street Journal
In his telling, Mr. Whitfield takes such great pains to present himself as a complete innocent that it stretches credulity.
Rosa Lyster,
The New Yorker
Gives a momentous relationship its due, with unusual directness.
Gemma Tipton,
The Irish Times (IRE)
In this tale of greed, excess and lies so slippery you feel as if you’re skating on the surface of a weirdly mirrored reality, the extravagant names are just the tip of an almost unbelievable iceberg.
