Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Nicholas Elliott, who had had many reverses in his young life, pushed open the inner door of the cathedral porch, and heard the singing."
Industry Reviews
" ...some truly nasty behavior by characters who are not simply villains--and the realistically unpleasant consequences of that behavior--save the novel from being just another exercise in There'll Always Be an England quaintness."
New York Times Book Review - Wendy Smith (09/10/1995)
"...she does have something of her illustrious ancestor's knack for portraying the human side of parochial politics and the complicated, often self-defeating, machinations that go on behind the scenes....in the choir itself she has found both an adequate symbol and an actual working example of her central theme: that spiritual values include beauty and grace as well as charity and social justice, and that pursuit of the ethical at the expense of the aesthetic can be as misguided as the pursuit of art at the expense of morality."
Wall Street Journal - Merle Rubin (09/11/1995)
"A wonderful picture of life in a modern cathedral close...a marvelously entertaining novel, and one especially interesting to Ms. Trollope's growing American following."
