Review:
Praise for The Flight of the Maidens "Splendid...Gardam's style is perfect."
--The New York Times Book Review
"Gardam at her best."
--The Guardian
"Gardam frames her story in dozens of crisp, brief scenes featuring deliciously dizzy
conversation."
--Kirkus Reviews (Starred) "All characters, major and minor, are superbly developed and convincing. The portrait of
postwar England as conventions crumble and the country that is rebuilt is terrific, drawn by a writer whose attention to detail recreates, lovingly and with bright flashes of wit, another time and place."
--Publisher's Weekly (Starred) "[A] witty and humane novel from a grande dame of English letters [...] [A] sparking, endearing account of first love, youthful folly and headstrong antics."
--Minneapolis Star-Tribune
--Open Letters Monthly
