| | Babel Tower - A.S.Byatt |
 | | "In Babel Tower, she shows her usual impressive command of slippery ideas and the solidest of details, which sit less earnestly than ever on her pages; they mix and move with new energy, even abandon. |
 | | That one, too, rather puzzled reviewers, and it is still very underrated, but it is both a novel of daunting virtuosity and a statement of grand moral and historical force. |
 | | While Babel Tower continues the story of Frederica, begun in The Virgin in the Garden and continued in Still Life, it readily stands on its own. |
