'Powered by a fast-moving plot, this latest exuberant fantasy concerns a department store, a female employee-turned-terrorist upon whom the reclusive proprietor exercises his droit de seigneur, and a porter who stumbles upon the hidden tunnels in which the building's architect entombed himself in the 1930s. Nicholson has a wonderful ear for the unintentionally funny cliches of modern speech and manners' Sunday Telegraph 'Nicholson, the genius behind this commercial Tower of Babel, is both a master of large, complex, convoluted structures - and a comic satirist of biting precision' Kirkus Reviews
