Reviews

• 'Everything- the plot, the luscious descriptions, the sharp and clever social satire, the precise tenor of the passions running through the story- adds up to a perfect period piece… The inevitable complications and broken hearts are seen through the witty, cosmopolitan and elegantly cynical eye of the author... an acute and merciless observer.'
