The German Numbers Woman

Praise for Alan Sillitoe:

'A major writer who ought to be read.'
Malcolm Bradbury

'Sillitoe keeps on going... never flagging, never looking back and writing with a vigour, clarity and humanity that should be the envy of all those novelists who were not even born when he started.'
Daily Mail

'What impresses one, as ever, about Sillitoe, is the ease of a style which yet allows him to expose the most complex emotions, and his ability to bring to light what people hide from themselves, or choose not to admit.'
Scotsman

'One of Britain's most powerful and sophisticated fiction writers.'
Times Literary Supplement
