Reviews

Diana Athill
I admired many authors. But Molly, I loved
Wall Street Journal
A writer of genius
Kirkus Reviews
Wily, shrewd, and terribly sad all at the same time: the story of a soul shrivelling against cool, dark, shiny backgrounds
Vulture
Good Behaviour includes very little good behaviour, featuring instead delicious and deleterious accounts of illicit sex and wild high jinks, and a mother-daughter duo who can scrap with the best of them
Bookseller
A witty, black comedy of manners, Good Behaviour is a memorable novel by an Irish writer whose only equal is Elizabeth Bowen
Hilary Mantel
I really wish I had written this book. It's a tragi-comedy set in Ireland after the First World War. A real work of craftsmanship, where the heroine is also the narrator, yet has no idea what is going on. You read it with mounting horror and hilarity as you begin to grasp her delusion
Vogue
Molly Keane is a mistress of wicked comedy
Evening Standard
Keane's distinctive blend of elegant savagery and deep affection . . . its human relationships tortured like bonsai by good form, its open-hearted, sensual passion for horses, dogs and landscape
Edna O'Brien, Observer
Enchanting
Maggie O'Farrell
I have read and re-read Molly Keane more, I think, than any other writer. Nobody else can touch her as a satirist, tragedian, and dissector of human behaviour. I love all her books, but Good Behaviour and Loving and Giving are the ones I return to most
New York Times
Molly Keane's Good Behaviour presents a character whose own strict Christian code wreaks havoc on all those around her. Though she herself tells the tale, we somehow see her morality's disastrous consequences. Hilarious and sinister
Guardian
She was . . . marvellous
Victoria Glendinning, Sunday Times
A fine novel, wickedly alive
Marian Keyes
Dark, complex, engaging . . . a wonderful tour de force
