Literary reference

The title is taken from William Blake's poem, "Ah! Sun-flower":

Ah Sun-flower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the travellers journey is done.

Reception

Reviewer Dave Langford said, "Well written and characterized, this has an old-fashioned feel despite up-to-date lack of inhibitions."[2] Dave Pringle's review said "I found this an irritating book, implausible, overlong, outdated and would-be risque."[3]
