Review
Delicious . . . very elegant and pleasing . . . A work of art * Scotsman * Her genius lies in the comic evocation of the mundane life against which her characters are in perpetual and ineffectual revolt * Sunday Times * Extremely lively and incisive entertainment * Times Literary Supplement *
