`Seductive, hilarious, brilliantly observed, this novel shimmers with wit and tenderness.' -- Helen Garner `An exceptional writer. Those of us who knew her at Sydney University back in the late 1950s are still trying to forgive ourselves that we never guessed what she would become.' -- Clive James `A knockout - ironic, sharp, alive, and then you're stopped in your tracks by the warmth of her insights.' -- Joan London `A little gem...shot through with old-fashioned innocence and sly humour.' * Vogue * `A highly sophisticated work, full of funny, sharp and subtle observations...a small masterpiece.' * Sunday Times (UK) * `There is something special about...The Women in Black. St John's tone is...a joy: brisk, perfectly managed and, in its disdain for clutter, oddly life-affirming. She casts an airy spell with the deftness of her prose, which moves gracefully, swiftly and with perfect manners...[St John] conjures a Sydney on the cusp of modern promise; a place where her characters can meet the future with a bright face and step out of the past like an old dress, where limits can be lightly shaken off.' -- Delia Falconer * Australian *
