'Someone rare has written this very fine novel, a write with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humor. A touching book; and so funny, so likeable' Truman Capote
'Her book is lifted- into the rare company of those that linger in the memory long after dramas, sagas and sophisticated frolics have coalesced into a blur of half- forgotten fiction' Bookman
