A wonderful novelist * Jilly Cooper *
How skilfully and with what peculiar exhilaration she negotiated the minefield of the human heart * Jonathan Keates *
An eye as sharply all-seeing as her prose-style is elegant -- even the humdrum becomes astonishing * DAILY TELEGRAPH *
Brilliantly amusing * Rosamund Lehmann *
