"One of the few series which seems to get better as it goes along. I've read it through twice and the quartet is four thick books, so it is no small task, but a delight even so. Fond memories just thinking of it. I won't part with my well-worn copies despite their age." — booklady (5 out of 5 stars)

" The entire quartet was brilliantly written by Paul Scott. In fact, I can safely say that these four books happen to be my most favourite ones. "
" Again, I love this series! "
" Wonderful. A series not to be missed. "
" The last of the quartet which I am savoring. Wonderful characters, fascinating history and political analysis of the raj and the muslim/hindu factions in 1940's India. Wish there were more in this series. "
" This is an impossibly long book about India during the time of colonial rule, that once I was through the four books I was so sorry to see end :-( "
" A superb ending to an amazing series of books. Teh books just simply increase in quality of wriiting as the series goes along. "
" I didn't like all the homosexual characters. By the fourth book the series was different from the first book. "
" I can't express how sad and depressed I am to have finally finished the series...the ending was poignant. I will miss reading Paul Scott's wonderful prose. "
