Anmeldelser
«Funny and exact...you can't help cheering, enjoying, wanting more.»
SPECTATOR
«The pattern of THE SUMMER AFTER THE FUNERAL, like that of an Iris Murdoch satires, is as intricate and delicate as a mazurka... To enjoy the full impact of this marvellously entertaining book one cannot afford to skip a single word.»
TLS
«Extraordinary... Mrs Gardam is a writer of original spirit, her observations acute and funny/sad.»
GUARDIAN
«Jane Gardam to me is everything that's right about contemporary fiction...there's nothing more difficult than trying to catch a mood and I think she does that to perfection.»
Margaret Foster
