Reviews

The Observer
A graceful and confident writer; the little Cumberland town of Thurston during the slump years, the Second World War and after, is beautifully realised
Daily Telegraph
Quite masterly
Tribune
Places him solidly in the main tradition of English fiction, with an honourable ancestry through such disparate figures as Wells and Hardy, Dickens and Jane Austen to Henry Fielding
