Review text

The authors prove the following theorem. Suppose \(G\) is a finitely generated group with a proper normal subgroup of finite index. If \(G\) is isomorphic to all of its non-trivial normal subgroups then \(G\) is infinite cyclic. In a particular case this answers a question raised by P. Hall.
