Review:
"Stella Gibbons's gift is very special" * Daily Express * "Chipper is the word: Gibbons's heroines are plucky, determined and quietly hedonistic. But she can do melancholy with the best of them, too, not to mention melodrama" * Guardian * "Stella Gibbons...an exception to that old canard: women can't make us laugh" * Independent * "The Jane Austen of the 20th century" -- Lynne Truss "Stella is stellar" * Sunday Herald *
