Trade Review

Praise for GOOD AS HER WORD:

  • 'A tremendous and bracing read that almost brings Sage back to life … Dazzling, erudite pieces.' Observer
  • 'A brilliant collection … When reading her reviews, you get a wonderful feeling of collusion, of attending the best kind of party which mixes great warmth with sophistication.' Time Out
  • 'Smart …. At her epigrammatic best' Daily Telegraph

Praise for MOMENTS OF TRUTH

  • ‘Packed with razor-sharp observations and exhilerating humour.’ Sunday Times
  • ‘Thank goodness for Lorna Sage’s brilliant ‘Moments of Truth’. Going into a book with her is like going into a gloomy church, say, in some some foreign city: her eyes adjust to the light so fast she can see the frescoes, and describe them to you in vivd detail, while you are still blinking like a mole.’ Financial Times
  • This is writerly criticism – down to earth, incisive, peppered with memorable phrases – and it makes exhilarating reading.’ Irish Times
  • ‘An apt memorial to a brilliant and stimulating mind.’ Literary Review
