'A sort of bohemian Brideshead Revisited' Times Literary Supplement 'A story, like Mansfield Park, of falling in love with a whole family' A. N. Wilson, Spectator 'The style is hectic and passionate, the jokes thick and fast, the emotions full and right, the humanity total and engulfing ... a first fruit to savour and exalt' Andrew Sinclair, The Times 'Its high spirits are irresistible. Like Moll Flanders, the heroine is unstoppable' John Braine, Sunday Telegraph
