Review:

- Shortlisted for the Booker Prize - With an Introduction by Candia McWilliam - "A source of wonder and delight... No summary can do justice to the rich intricacy of character and incident with which Miss Murdoch crowds every page." --"Spectator " - "This is great Murdoch. It rings as clear as "The Bell"... her humour is all the more achingly funny because she keeps it on the edge of our vision." --"Daily Mail "
