«From the first page it is recognizably authentic Highsmith. Perhaps approaching her lesbian novel Carol in tenderness and theme, it has a serenity rarely found in Highsmith's world »
Geoffrey Elborn, Guardian
«Years of producing tight, energetic thrillers has honed down Highsmith's style, and in this book, with its child-like simplicity, is quite wonderfully readable »
Philip Hensher, Mail on Sunday
«The novel is a delight . . . all the more so for its untypically sunny atmosphere »
Daily Telegraph

O Magazine
«Small g is a welcome addition to Highsmith's published novels, offering readers an insight into a fascinating aspect of Swiss society and an opportunity to explore Highsmith's final concerns and obsessions»
«Its superabundance of characters is only one of the elements that give Small g its air of Shakespearean complexity»
