Reviews
It is a small book, acute, discreet and tender; it is also written with warm care and considerable taste - all qualities too easily overlooked
Bawden is noted too for the sharp sense of humour that edges her tales of middle-class manners and mores towards satire, particularly when it all goes wrong
An exceptional picture of disorganised family life . . . Imaginative, tender, with a welcome undercurrent of toughness
