Book Summary
Introduced By Sophie Dahl
'what Luxury To Stumble Upon This Quirky Book, And The Fascinating Modern Woman Who Wrote It. It Is A Rare Unadulterated Pleasure And High Time For Its Encore' Sophie Dahl
Life Is Not Quite A Fairytale For Viola. Left Penniless, The Young Widow Is Forced To Live With Her Late Husband's Dour Family In A Joyless Old House. There's Mr Wither, A Tyrannical Miser; Mrs Wither, Who Is Certain That Her Son Married Beneath Him; And Two Unlovely Sisters-In-Law - One Of Whom Is Secretly In Love With The Chauffeur.
Only The Prospect Of The Charity Ball Can Raise Viola's Spirits - Especially As Victor Spring, The Local Prince Charming Will Be There. But Victor's Intentions Toward Our Cinderella Are, In Short, Not Quite Honourable . . .
'nightingale Wood Is Very Impressive . . . Gibbons Is Superb On Middle Class Life In The Years Immediately Before The Second World War, On The Erosions Of Class Division And Ongoing Snobbery . . . Relying On Icicle Wit And Sharp Observation To Lambast Conventional Morality. Gibbons Also Displays A Tender Side. There Is Real Sadness In Some Of Her Characters, Instead Of Deliberately Heightened Rural Dolour - And It Winds Up As A Love Story That Would Please Jane Austen . . . I've Loved Every Minute' Sam Jordison, Guardian
