As in <i>Walking Naked</i> (1981) and <i>Circles of Deceit</i>, Bawden's contemporary truths, laced with a <b>dark humor, fit-and pinch</b>
Kirkus Reviews
<b>Sharply observed and drawn with precision</b>, Fanny's troubles and their eventual resolution make a compelling read
Publishers Weekly
This <b>funny, vicious, little novel</b> is written not just for women, but for old women of all ages
