Glorious… Frederica is a magnificent creation; awkward, fierce, intellectually voracious and sexually inexperienced -- Francesca Segal, author of The Awkward Age
Affords enormous and continuous pleasure -- Anita Brookner
Byatt is a wonderful writer, constantly engaging wherever she takes us * The Times *
