Reviews
A gentle, charming account of a family of cosmopolitan sophistication living in a rural shambles * Evening Standard *
The whole is suffused with love. To write well and with such open-hearted affection is an achievement * Observer *
A funny, though sometimes melancholy, story of irresponsible and drunken bohemianism * Guardian *
I love Raffaella Barker's books - so funny and acerbic * Maggie O'Farrell *
