Review:

Triumphant . . . the funniest of Miss Bowen s novels. The Times (London) This story is poetic in its awareness, its stimulus, its beauty of writing; and as full of clues, hints and half-revealed secrets as any thriller. The Scotsman (Edinburgh) Bowen so thoroughly knows the world she is writing about that she contrives to appear to convey it to us whole. Her fictional insight is made solid by sound psychological insight. The New York Times"

Book Description:
