Critic Reviews
'The pieces collected in This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage have exactly the tone of a good story told at a convivial dinner party, by someone who has told it often enough to have the timing down cold and who happily caters to her audience’s desire.' (Laura Miller)
'Witty, warm reflections on life, love and art of fiction...she speaks about the love and happiness of her second and enduring marriage with immense beauty and insight, and without an iota of smugness.' (Arifa Akbar)
'A brilliant mix of moving memoir and deeply personal essays...consoling, inspiring, but, above all, true.' (Kathryn Hughes)
