Reviews

Clever, witty, polished

New York Times

McCarthy may be best known for The Group but her debut novel made nearly as much of a splash when [first] published in 1942 . . . A jagged diamond of a book, the multifaceted parts giving a glimpse of a brilliant but fractured whole

Observer

A consummate piece of work

Norman Mailer

McCarthy exposes the complex psychological workings of a brilliant, tortured and manipulative mind . . . Could have been written today. Timeless, brilliant and frighteningly insightful

Daily Mail

Mary McCarthy's debut collection of short stories caused a sensation in 1942 and is no less vibrant today
