oh, amanda craig! a vicious circle is the best, but i liked hearts & minds too.

brilliant, off to the library tmw. Thanks!

If you like Rose Tremain (I love her books) you may also like Penelope Lively and Elizabeth Jane Howard.

Also Anne Tyler

Anne Tyler ok, but more American. Also Ann Patchett is good, especially Bel Canto.

Thnaks Norman and Bue lots more to try!

Try Molly Keane
