Review
'Michele Roberts is one of those writers, descended perhaps as much from Monet and Debussy as Virginia Woolf or Keats ... To read a book by her is to savour colour, sound, taste, texture and touch as never before' The Times 'Michele Roberts writes some of the most sensual prose around in contemporary fiction ... You do not just read the book, you also smell and see the action' Penelope Lively, Spectator 'There are passages in this book evoking the heat and indolence of a sun-drenched French summer that make you sweat just reading them' (Sunday Times) "Roberts is such a fine writer - one of those languorous word-painters who crafts every sentence with loving care - marvellous to read ... she excels at texture, giving apparently simple scenes a warm sensual glow" Sunday Telegraph "Beautifully depicted settings ... textured, sensual writing" Sunday Express Magazine
