I loved this, I loved this, I loved this. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer to get this author into my life. Also, one of my favorite mother-son relationships in a book ever.

It's kind of cool that I read this after one of Kingsley Amis's books, as the foreword to this opens with a reference to Amis having admired Taylor's writing.
Strangely, there was also the mention of 'greengages' here - something I'd never heard of before, but which also popped up in Amis (and which appears in the title of a Rumer Godden novel I have on my to-read list for this season).
