I was captivated from the first page. I cannot remember when I
enjoyed a first novel more
*Daily Telegraph*
If all works of fiction were as thoughtful, as subtle, as well
constructed, and as funny as Metroland there would be no more talk
of the death of the novel
*New Statesman*
A rare and unusual first novel
*London Magazine*
A very funny, touching first novel. It has a hard comic edge to it
that is logical and at the same time extremely diverting
*Spectator*
One would have to look very hard to find a wryer, more lovingly
detailed account of intellectual and sexual innocence abroad
*New York Times*
