"I had a chance to meet Margaret Drabble in London in 1994. I wish I had been more mature then but then I guess that is how life goes. I do enjoy her books though."
"I've wanted to read Margaret Drabble ever since I realized she was A.S. Byatt's sister. I found this to be an interesting, if distressing, portrait of class issues in 1960s London society."
"I bought this principally because the author's the half-sister of A.S.Byatt (who is utterly wonderful) and I'd come across their work being compared, and it was priced at 30p. But it was utter sop. Unconvincing woman academic gets pregnant (the only time she has sex, ever), then finds complete fulfilment in her baby.. She could at least get some geeky stuff about Elizabethan poetry in, but no, we stick to baby adoration... Perhaps some of Margaret D's stuff is better - I'm pretty sure she was OBE'd before her sister, and thought well of critically?"
"This is a British book with British humor and attitude. About a young woman who has an OW baby after her first sexual encounter. Tough and optimistic."
