3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Read, 24 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This is, in many ways, a typical Penelope Lively book. The present situation of the protagonist is interlaced with memories of her earlier life and reflections that she is always an observer not a doer. There is a subplot concerning alienated neighbours which is perhaps not explained as well as it should be or rather is too fragmentary for my taste. The book is however well written and comparatively short- a blessing in this age of blockbusters. In the end I enjoyed the book, read it quickly and have been mulling over it for the last couple of days. That seems not bad to me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Expected more of a LIVELY plot, 4 Jun 2001
After hearing so much about Penelope Lively i decided to give her a go. What a struggle, is all i can say, fair enough i suppose if you've got nothing else to do. I only hope that her other works were better, there seemed to be no end to this book and it went on forever!!
