: an impeccable piece of realistic fiction, with routine material transcended by art at its most clear-eyed and unpretentious".
- Martyn Goff in the "Daily Telegraph" writes "It is difficult to convey the marvellous quality of this book. Constance Keating is a major fictional portrait, her death finally noble".
