David Garnett said the book “marks her as the greatest master of English” and is “the finest novel she has ever written” ( New Statesman & Nation). The novel met with high praise when it was first published. Its focus is the passage of time as it traces the Pargiter family history from 1880 up to the ‘Present Day’.
