The work of a novelist in her prime... The narrative is taut and suspenseful, the characterization complex and dynamic. -- Stevie Davies * Guardian * Brilliantly drawn... Atmosphere and characters linger long after the novel ends * Sunday Times * Deft, intriguing and gripping. Forster never disappoints. -- Kate Williams * Woman & Home * This is Margaret Forster's last novel, sadly, and it's full of reminders of what made her such a shrewd and arresting chronicler of women's lives -- Hephzibah Anderson * Mail on Sunday * An exemplary final work ... wonderfully well-observed -- D.J. Taylor * The Times *
