“Stunningly powerful…While the whodunit plot is compelling, it's the convincing portrait of a country's incremental slide into fascism that makes this novel a standout. Mainstream readers should be enthralled as well.” --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Farthing
“If Le Carré scares you, try Jo Walton.” –Ursula K. LeGuin on Farthing
"A stiff-upper-lip whodunit boasting political intrigue and uncomfortable truths about anti-Semitism." --Entertainment Weekly on Farthing
“Farthing is a quietly convincing horror, a tale of a world that might have been and that we’re damned lucky we never really saw. Read it, think about it, and count your blessings.” –Harry Turtledove on Farthing
“Succeeds in almost too many ways to count. It’s a great, engaging read, and sharp as a knife.” –Robert Charles Wilson on Farthing
"Manages the incredible, heart-rending trick of being a quiet little story about quiet, brave people while simultaneously conjuring the kind of haunting dystopia that rips your guts out." –Cory Doctorow on Farthing
“Is there anything Jo Walton can’t write?...It reads as if it was written just this morning.” --Locus on Farthing
“Packs a considerable wallop.” --Kirkus Reviews on Farthing
"Amazing…One of the most compelling and chilling books of the year." --Romantic Times Book Reviews on Farthing
