A beautiful read, on every level
Like the great 19th-century novelists of provincial life, Mary Lawson is fluent in the desperate intensity of the small, individual dramas of respectable people - and she paints an eloquent picture
Evokes beautifully the big joys and sorrows of most people, no matter how small their town
Discreetly powerful
This is a fine book - an enthralling read, both straightforward and wonderfully intricate
