Recensione:
"Sophisticated comedy-what gives it its distinction is the quality of observation and the unusual marriage of high spirits with melancholy awareness of the passing of time" (Scotsman)
"Irresistible" (Literary Review)
"An acute observer of manners and styles" (Independent)
"Here is an imagination that effortlessly brings character after character to valiant, preposterous, malevolent or desperate life. Here is a writer who deserves to be far more widely read" (Spectator)
"It has a lightness, a breadth... an impressive energy and a humane comedy... Entertaining and affecting" (Times Literary Supplement)
