Praise for Margaret Drabble
“Reading Margaret Drabble’s novels has become something of a rite of passage . . . [They are] sharply observed, exquisitely companionable tales of women of a certain age and class, educated, egocentric, strong, unlucky in love.”—Washington Post
“Gorgeous writing . . . [Drabble’s] flawed and oh-so-human characters appall and enthrall.”—Boston Globe
“As meticulous as Jane Austen, and as deadly as Evelyn Waugh.”—Los Angeles Times
“Margaret Drabble will have done for late-twentieth-century London what Dickens did for Victorian London.”—New York Times
“The intensity, the seriousness, the playfulness—I loved, and still love, these characteristics of Drabble’s work, as I do the sense of a writer continually interrogating the nature of the world, and of our place in it.”—Andrea Barrett
