Reviews of Salamander

Lorna Jackson, Quill & Quire, May 2001

"Like Ondaatje at his most lyrical, Wharton has an ear for the excellent noun and for verbs that barely fit."

Julie Wheelwright, The Independent, 23 March 2002

"A pared-down version of this over-complicated story might have allowed Wharton's moments of charm and passion to shine through."

Eric Korn, The Guardian, 6 April 2002

"Wharton's prose style ... is flexible, poetic, inventive and always lucid"
