" 'Mr. Shiva Naipaul's first novel is a delight, a miracle of enjoyment.' This, from the Spectator, perfectly sums up the joy of reading Fireflies - and the burst of praise that has greeted its publication in England. It is a novel both cheerfully satirical and profoundly touching as it brings to life a pretentious family (their decline and fall) and the dauntless, lovable woman who is their poor relation". Locale: Trinidad. (Fiction, Fiction, Modern Firsts).
