Reviews

Joan Aiken has written with her usual ebullient wit a book that is as frothy and easily digestible as one of its heroine’s very best soufflés
The gifted prolific British author tells another mesmerizing story with the characteristically ‘different’ Aiken touches
Aiken holds the reader’s attention from start to finish – an action-packed tale told reflectively, intelligently, and at times movingly
Clytie Churchill, cooker up of banquets and cookbooks, has the richest hoard of incident-and accident prone relations . . . her menus sound super but her adventures are all heartburn. In fact in her own words to her publisher about an old manuscript – ‘Foul Matter. Who needs it?’
