Review
Featured as one of the New York Times Book Review's "100 Notable Books of 2015"
“Jane Gardam has a spectacular gift for detail of the local and period kind, and for details which made
characters so subtly unpredictable that they ring true.” – Times Literary Supplement
“Gardam’s prose is so economical that no moment she describes is either gratuitous or wasted.” –The New Yorker
“Gardam is an exquisite storyteller, picking up threads, laying them down, returning to them and giving them new meaning.” –The Seattle Times
“Gardam will bring immense pleasure to readers who treasure fiction that is intelligent, witty, sophisticated.” –The Washington Post
