Críticas:

Extremely lively and incisive entertainment (Times Literary Supplement)

Her genius lies in the comic evocation of the mundane life against which her characters are in perpetual and ineffectual revolt (Sunday Times)

Delicious . . . very elegant and pleasing . . . A work of art (Scotsman)

Reseña del editor:

An old snapshot shows a group of friends lounging in the sunshine, on a weekend in the country at the invitation of bearded, satyric Claude and his wife Julia. The girl in the centre is dreamy Lily, whose latest failed love affair forms the purpose of the weekend, as Lily's friends set out to help her ensnare an unwitting father for her unborn child. Next to her is Norman, a Marxist romantic hell-bent on seducing his milk-white hostess; behind them is old, persecuted Shebah; and, slightly apart, the young man on whom all hopes are pinned: quiet, pleasant Edward.

Told through the fractured narratives of Claude, Lily, Shebah and Norman, in Beryl Bainbridge's first published novel a darkly comic weekend of friendship and failure unravels.
