Review:

Momentous...A lesser author would buckle under so many story lines, but Atkinson juggles them brilliantly, simultaneously tying up loose ends from Turn and opening new doors for further Brodie misadventures.

-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"

The novel satisfies the question in its own title. The answer is: right here and right now.

-- "Salon"

The best installment of the three-book series...[with] charmingly flawed characters and [a] keen insight into human nature...Readers are forewarned: they may not be able to put down this riveting, entertaining, and clever novel until they've turned the final page.
