Recensioner i media

"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
