What the critics say

I can think of no other writer whose novels I look forward to with such gleeful anticipation. A Patchwork Planet is her fourteenth book, but were it for fortieth, it would not be enough for me... A delight from beginning to end
- Observer

A Patchwork Planet is thoroughly enjoyable...from this most responsive novel
- Sunday Times

Tyler's best book yet - which must make it pretty near perfection
- The Times
