Critics Review
So envious of anyone yet to read this. A triumph! * Nigella Lawson *A masterly piece of storytelling. * Helena Kelly *Utterly absorbing and illuminating. Written with a sure and stylish hand. Gill Hornby’s best book yet. * Esther Freud *I read it straight through without looking up … Godmersham Park provided me with a perfectly contented day. * Karen Joy Fowler *The great writer is brought to life in this clever, well-researched piece of fiction. * The Times *Thoroughly entertaining, Godmersham Park has some of the same understated wit and sharp observation as Austen’s novels. * Sunday Times *Meticulously researched, Hornby’s absorbing novel revels in the joys and tensions of life above and below stairs. * Mail on Sunday *
