A modern saga...she has a fine ear for words and a quick wit for absudities
The Times
An extraordinary imagination - witty, light-footed, realistic, yet with shooting insights into the nature of personality and love
Isabel Quigley, Financial Times
Tender, funny, absorbing, idiosyncratic, truthful, heartening... A liberating novel. It deserves a wide readership
Michael Herbert, Literary Review
Mordant intelligence; formidable insight into the springs of human self-deception, self-aggrandisement and self-destruction; and an effortless, always vivid style
Jeffrey Meyers, Spectator
Beautifully written and constructed... A rich and elegant achievement
Peter Kemp, Listener
