Reviews

"She is a master of her material, a writer in whom great talent abides" -- Muriel Spark Vanity Fair "Many consider her to be the best living writer in this language... In her hands, words are fluid, radiant, humming" Evening Standard "Even at a time when so many good and interesting novels are coming out, hers stand out as performances of real originality and extraordinary promise" John Bayley "wonderful rites-of-passage novel... where the author's blossoming Sapphic nature leads her to eschew her mothers proffered favourite" Mariella Frostrup "Still extraordinary, still brilliant" Metro
