“【Quot.】In your novel too, the house and its grounds feel so capacious, have so much room inside them for so many stories. And crucially present and past are brought together too inside the shape of the place, and inside the novel’s shape. Which makes me think of another variant of the country house tradition―all those children’s novels of the mid-century where a door in an old house leads through into the past (Philippa Pearce’s superb Tom’s Midnight Garden, Alison Uttley’s A Traveller in Time).”
