It's kind of cool that I read this after one of Kingsley Amis's books, as the foreword to this opens with a reference to Amis having admired Taylor's writing.

Strangely, there was also the mention of 'greengages' here - something I'd never heard of before, but which also popped up in Amis (and which appears in the title of a Rumer Godden novel I have on my to-read list for this season).

Not my favorite by Elizabeth Taylor but definitely interesting one. I dare say she never disappoints.

Already want to reread this. Likely to be a 4 star on a second read. Just wasn’t in the right headspace it seems!
