maccymacd's review
My first forage into Elizabeth Taylor... I hadn't realised when I picked it up that it was short stories, not a novel, but if anything it surpassed what I had hoped for. Taylor is brilliantly satirical, dry, witty and amazing at exploring relationships in detail. To me she is a mixture of Barbara Pym, Angela Thirkell, Monica Dickens and EM Delafield. She's brilliant, and so very relatable. I have many of her novels and cannot wait to read these too.
