Product Description
Review
Elizabeth Taylor is finally being recognised as an important British author: an author of great subtlety, great compassion and great depth. As a reader, I have found huge pleasure in returning to Taylor's novels and short stories many times over. As a writer I've returned to her too - in awe of her achievements, and trying to work out how she does it -- Sarah Waters Mrs Taylor has remarkable, unobtrusive skill ... In all the stories there is a peculiarly satisfying mixture of wit and generosity ... The human depth of the stories is such that they can be read again and again -- Margaret Drabble Though a successful novelist, it is with the short story that Elizabeth Taylor really excelled ... she is consistently able to look unflinchingly on things that most would turn away from, yet there is always an underlying compassion and humanity to her work. -- Alexei Sayle Guardian Her stories remain with one, indelibly, as though they had been some turning point in one's own experience -- Elizabeth Bowen Elizabeth Taylor made it her business to explore the quirky side of so-called civilisation ... when you're reading her work there's always an element of self-congratulation. Oh, what you've caught! -- Anne Tyler
