The Sunday Times calls Joanna Trollope 'the queen of the domestic dilemma', but this novel does not seem to be as clear cut in its conception as her others . . . the characters of course do not know where they are going, but one feels that Trollope herself has not solved the problems and the solutions are too fortuitous . . . but, as always, a diverting and in some parts an illuminating read.
