'One of the many unsung novelists of her generation. Intelligent and accessible, she is fighting for the same bit of turf as Joanne Trollope, but she is probably the more accomplished and varied writer of the two.' Sunday Telegraph 'Perriam is a writer of authority and skill, with a wicked ear for conversational quirks.' Sunday Times 'She has a considerable command of her craft, and a shrewd sense of those aspects of contemporary life which are worth recording.' Times Literary Supplement
