Críticas:

'What I'm going to be writing will, I hope, be just the best beach book in the world, ever: naughty, gossipy - with just the right ratio of title to tattle. (You know what I mean, darlings, don't pretend you don't.) Virginia Woolf's letters (here in the string bag) are all very well, but they don't exactly make one throb, do they? Unfair: they make one throb, but higher up rather than lower down. And when I'm basting nicely on Sun Mark 8, factoring in my Ambre S, I need something with a bit of oomph, something with a bit of pandering to the baser' From Victoria's 'Holiday Diary'

Reseña del editor:

Toby Litt meets Virginia Woolf meets Big Brother . . .

A manipulative female novelist, Victoria About, takes on the mantel of big brother, and with a nod to Virginia Woolf, ensconses herself in a house on the Suffolk coast with a motley group of friends and acquaintances. Tantrums, ghosts, fallings-out, comings-together -- Victoria watches and records it all. But is this what she had expected, and is she really in control?

Let loose in a hothouse of subterfuge and well-kept secrets, Toby Litt's readers will find themselves stepping through a maze of unreliable narration, misjudged expectations and duplicitous accomplices to arrive -- after twists, turns and maybe a bit of backtracking -- at what has really been going on.
