Synopsis
Amongst the characters in this collection of short stories are the upright Mrs Allen, who unwittingly provides an alibi for her slackly corseted home help, and Emily, who has written fluent, amusing letters to a distinguished novelist for 10 years but descends into small talk when they meet.

Review
Brilliantly amusing * ROSAMOND LEHMANN * An eye as sharply all-seeing as her prose-style is elegant -- even the humdrum becomes astonishing * DAILY TELEGRAPH * How skilfully and with what peculiar exhilaration she negotiated the minefield of the human heart * JONATHAN KEATES * A wonderful novelist * JILLY COOPER *
