'Distinctive, self-assured and remarkably sensual: she has always been a writer to whom smells and flavours matter a great deal.' -- The Guardian 'Interesting and original ... Howard has true imagination and a kind of sensuous power. She creates a wonderful atmosphere of uneasiness and oppression; she can also draw scenes with ironic brilliance: hers seems to me to be a remarkable talent' -- The New Statesman
