'A brilliant evocation of life as a single girl in a certain time . . . reads like Anita Loos out of Jane Austen, and any woman who has ever had a job, a relationship or indeed a mother will read it and roar' The Times

'I cannot recommend a book more joyfully. . . Hilariously funny, miraculously observed, endlessly touching' Daily Telegraph

'Wild comedy. . ..observed with merciless, flamboyant wit. A gloriously funny book' Sunday Times
