Second Honeymoon

The author’s witty manipulation of her characters recalls the other Trollope, although there is nothing Victorian about her style… perfectly pitched dialogue * The Times *
One of the finest chroniclers of the way we live now * Independent on Sunday *
Trollope has perfectly caught the angst of the empty nest… the ebb and flow of relationships is brilliantly handled * The Observer *
The queen of the domestic dilemma… observant and empathetic * The Sunday Times *
Trollope has always written well and convincingly about property. It’s her refusal to divorce her characters’ inner lives from the accumulated stuff of their outer ones that makes the best of it so compelling * The Daily Telegraph *
Joanna Trollope has an uncanny knack of pinpointing key modern domestic dilemmas around which to thicken her absorbing plots * Daily Mail *
Poignant prose… her novels have always contained the unexpected, but lately they’ve gained a grittiness which suits the everyday subject matter that lies at the heart of her writing * Glamour *
Playful, unguessable and clever * Sunday Express *
Intelligent and humane, and there’s never a word out of place * Evening Standard *
Beautifully written, and her treatment of the generation gap between parents and offspring is observed with all the unforced empathy that has become her hallmark * Observer *
