This third novel in the sequence is, in many ways, the most adventurous of all . . . Lila is the work of an exceptional novelist at the peak of her capacity – New Statesman

Robinson has made a world so palpable and full that each book can stand alone…Taken together, these books will surely be known as one of the great achievements of contemporary literature – Observer

Her questioning books express wonder: they are enlightening, in the best sense, passionately contesting our facile, recycled understanding of ourselves and of our world – Guardian
