Trade Review
Staying On covers only a few months but it carries the emotional impact of a lifetime, even a civilisation * Philip Larkin *
Certainly his funniest and, I think, his best. it is a first-class book and deserves to be remembered for a long time * Evening Standard *
One of the most cherished books of the last quarter-century. It is good to re-read it for its humour and pathos as well as its wonderful description of the legacy of the Raj * Sunday Telegraph *
