Review
'Roe's novel offers a powerful evocation of sisterly bonds, the agonies of parental remarriage, and life in the closed environment of a convent in the 1940s, while maintaining ... an absorbing plot.' The Sunday Times
[A] novel of great and civilised sensibility, and a real pleasure to read (Fay Weldon, Mail on Sunday)
This convincingly evoked detail provides the background for a tightly controlled plot, whose denouement is concealed until the last possible moment (The Times)
The writing evokes the claustrophobia of convent life where sexual activity can only be spoken of in relation to the Sixth Commandment . . . The evocative descriptions of landscape and the atmospheric touches are well done (Times Literary Supplement)
