Reviews

New York Times
Beneath the gentle surfaces of her novels is a slow-building comedy, salt wit in a saline drip
Alexander McCall Smith
A modern Jane Austen
John Betjeman
A splendid humorous writer
ANNE TYLER
She is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heartbreaking silliness of everyday life
Shirley Hazzard
There is a thrill of humanity through all her work
RICHARD OSMAN
