Critics Review
“This is Trollope’s finest novel to date.
The portrayal of the petty frustrations of clerical life is spot on and the novel is elegantly written * The Sunday Times *
I would have killed anyone who wrested this novel from my hands… it’s compulsive reading * The Times *
This is Trollope’s finest novel to date. Prepare to be wittily and wisely entertained by an exceptional writer * Daily Mail *
Like a Barbara Pym novel, though Joanna Trollope has a much stronger grasp than Pym on the tangled web of family life * The Times *
The portrayal of the petty frustrations of clerical life is spot on and the novel is elegantly written * Sunday Telegraph *
Compulsive reading * The Times *
