Description
In a home-made dress of flame-coloured silk, a gawky, would-be curate as an escort, Olivia Curtis' first dance is either going to be gloriously romantic or an agonizing public humiliation. But whatever it entails it has to be an improvement on the Sheer Ordinariness of normal life.

A novelist in the grand tradition, and, more than this, an innovator, the first writer to filter her stories through a woman's feelings and perceptions * Anita Brookner *
Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love, of mothers, of daughters, of suffering * Margaret Drabble *
No English writer has told of the pains of women in love more truly or more movingly than Rosamond Lehmann * Marghanita Laski *
