<b>Miller, Laura, <i>Salon</i>:</b> "[ENGLISH PASSENGERS is] an alchemical mix of the epic and the intimate, the hilarious and the heartbreaking--elements that can seldom be successfully combined. It's also more fun than we've found between book covers in quite some time....Kneale balances the novel exquisitely; it takes up such momentously painful subjects as colonization and racism, but it never sinks under the weight....At their worst, the English, as Kneale suggests, have been a heavy load for many people to carry, but this novel, for all its intellectual and moral heft, feels as light as a feather."
