Review
Casting Off, Libby Purves' first novel was warmly received by the critics:
'Humour, humanity and relish for the enjoyably mundane' The Times
'A feel-good novel ... hilarious ... humorous ... fabulously incisive' Independent
'Ms Purves has the gift of tongues. A great fluency of expression, a real sense of narrative, a painfully acute perception but a forgiving nature - and there you have it - a born novelist' FAY WELDON
Purves' novel of ordinary lives is compelling, her perceptions acute . . . sophisticated and skilful―Daily Telegraph
Libby Purves' prose is clean, sharp and in touch with things that matter―Valerie Grove, Daily Express
