Reviews
Miss Cooper's life is a curiously endearing mixture of Joyce Grenfell and August Strindberg - endlessly gracious neighbourly occasions undercut and made bearable by a home life of wonderfully chaotic neurosis and catastrophes - highlighted by sudden and marvellous insights into neighbours and former friends -- Sheridan Morley
An entrancing book -- Lynda Lee-Potter * Daily Mail *
A brilliant and beloved book and absolutely unputdownable -- Elizabeth Longford
So observant... a delightful book -- Valerie Singleton * Daily Express *
