The work of a master at the full stretch of his age and wisdom... Golding is quite simply the best living writer of the short novel in the English language.'
Andrew Sinclair, The Times
Full of the colour and clatter of scenes whose tarry detail the author reports to us like a revenant from one of Nelson's ships... A profound and subtle comedy of the darker kind about class and power.' W. L. Webb, Guardian
"Golding's best and most accessible story since Lord of the Flies... What makes Rites of Passage such a pleasure, and such an artistic triumph, is the verve and buoyancy which Golding brings to potent themes.' Melvyn Bragg, Punch
