RaveIrish Times (IRE)It’s quintessential Levy. The languid yet precise prose, the fine mind she allows to wander through a series of ideas and connections before getting to the nub ... Thematically she is picking up where she left off, as many of the same preoccupations are here too: what it is to be a woman, patriarchy and power, and the gendered nature of domestic spaces ... Journeys to Mumbai, New York and Berlin are rendered beautifully, but the joy of this book is the magic Levy finds in the ordinary, or perhaps the magic she makes of it ... What makes this trilogy unique is, perhaps, her voracious curiosity. Not only does nothing escape her gaze, but there is no hierarchy.
