Wilce, Gillian, New Statesman: "[The book] is, in a way, a moral soap opera: an enclosed, related group of people with the spotlight on them, an outer world that mirrors their private concerns, frequent changes of scene and actors, all conducive to reading on in order to find out what happens next...'The Good Apprentice'...is singularly optimistic about a human inclination to go on struggling not just for meaning but for, well, goodness." |
