Reviews for Still Life

The Potter sisters have chosen contrasting lifestyles: Frederica intellectualizes at Cambridge while Stephanie struggles with domesticity. As with all of Byatt's work, there is much more going on underneath the surface, and it all comes encapsulated within her particular form of superlative writing. (Kirkus UK)
