Praise for Margaret Drabble

“Reading a Margaret Drabble novel has always been like cozying up with a cup of hot tea by a gas fire with a dull English winter rain misting the window, and contemplating the story of one’s own life.” — New York Times

“As meticulous as Jane Austen, and as deadly as Evelyn Waugh.” — Los Angeles Times

“The deft commingling of the sentimental and the matter-of-fact is characteristic of writer Margaret Drabble . . . Drabble is one of the most versatile and accomplished writers of her generation.” — Joyce Carol Oates, The New Yorker

“Reading Margaret Drabble’s novels has become something of a rite of passage . . . Sharply observed, exquisitely companionable tales of women of a certain age and class, educated, egocentric, strong, unlucky in love.” — Washington Post

“Drabble’s fiction has achieved a panoramic vision of contemporary life.” — Chicago Tribune
