Trade Review
A writer of bewitching readability * The Times *
What makes this book gripping . . . is its truthfulness. It is a sort of detective story after all, with Brookner as the sleuth . . . applying her own devastating insight. * Sunday Times *
What a humorous and humane as well as accomplished artist she is. * London Review of Books *
Classic Brookner * The Times *
