Gripping

A tight and compelling thriller

A twisting murder mystery combined with a chillingly plausible alternative history of a divided Cold War London. Brilliant

Rubin constructs a tantalising alternative world with 1950s Britain riven apart by its own version of the Berlin Wall - and all because the D-Day landings failed. Against this dystopian nightmare, the author overlays a murder mystery that's sure to appeal to fans of SS-GB, The Man in the High Castle, and Fatherland

A gripping murder mystery set in an alternative 1950s Britain. Rubin's London, split between American and Soviet zones after a disastrous World War Two, is vividly realised and his story is elegantly constructed. One not to miss

In the great tradition of SS-GB and Fatherland, Rubin's alternative-1950s murder mystery takes an ingenious premise - the Americans and the Soviets have carved up Britain between them after rescuing the country from the Nazis - and makes it come alive through sheer storytelling skill

Strange and haunting.

Arguably his best…. A must-read

Stunningly simple and profound.

The strength of this masterly novel is that it illuminates without pretending to explicate.

It’s signature Amis at his most inventive, and it is through…inspired and irreverent fluency that his dead-serious purpose is realized.

Most fiction would break under the weight of so much self-reflection, but The Zone of Interest does not even bend... Deft, ironic and horribly funny... A brilliantly believable account of an episode which is beyond belief.

The Zone of Interest succeeds because in it Amis is seriously funny - that is to say, funny for serious purposes.

Martin Amis’s best novel in years

It’s a brilliant feat of imagination and chutzpah.

Is the Holocaust a fit subject for fiction? … The only proper response is to read this remarkable, deeply disturbing and quite original novel.

Martin Amis’s The Zone of Interest achieved the near impossible, confounding his detractors with this horrifying glimpse into the heard of Nazi darkness.

The Zone of Interest is Amis at his boldest and best.

What would be otherwise be light entertainment…becomes sinister and strange, warped by the enormous atrocities happening just offstage.

Martin Amis’s best novel in years.

It is always hard to read factual material about the Holocaust but in fiction Amis has shined a light into this darkness which offers no answers but is still profoundly moving.

It was very, very good.

I think everyone should read it – it is so horrific.

A well-received return to form

Astonishingly bold novel… [It] is Amis’s best work in years

Amis’s best work since Money
