Jane Austen, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Pym, Elizabeth Bowen - soul-sisters all ( Anne Tyler)
A wonderful novelist ( Jilly Cooper)
An eye as sharply all-seeing as her prose-style is elegant - even the humdrum becomes astonishing ( Daily Telegraph)
She's a favourite of this writer. I've read this novel, set in a seaside town in the 1940s, five times and I'm itching to read it again. There's a mother from hell in it who makes me wince and chuckle (Jacqueline Wilson)
Every one of her books is a treat and this is my favourite, because of its wonderful cast of characters, and because of the deftness with which Taylor's narrative moves between them ... A wonderful writer
