Recenzii

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