Daughters-in-Law

The brilliantly observed portrayal of family life is wonderfully compelling - and a story many will be able to identify with. ****

CLOSER

We love Trollope's novels and await each new one with excitement

HEAT

Supremely sure of her material and purpose, compassionate but never sentimental

THE SUNDAY TIMES

Wonderfully observed and readable

THE TIMES

Infallibly elegant... All this lies beneath the sparkling, well groomed surface of a novel which could quite easily be read as a light diversion for an idle afternoon. But look more closely and something as grim as Greek tragedy is played out around the cosy family dinner table

Jane Shilling, DAILY TELEGRAPH

The legendary Ms Trollope triumphs yet again, with her latest slick of classy chick-lit

HEAT

A poignant tale about a mother watching her children grow up and marry, and her sadness as they drift further away. Joanna's descriptive writing expresses true wrought emotion and hurt

HEAT REVIEW

The author's psychology, as always, is sound, the plotting secure and the pacing brisk and page-turning. Another winner

DAILY MAIL

Sociologically and psychologically as observant as ever

SPECTATOR

Book of the Month: An intuitive and sympathetically observed piece of writing

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

Trollope writes with customary compassion and humanity in this heartwarming and engaging novel

DAILY EXPRESS

A very superior work of women's fiction... an exceedingly skilled analysis of the relationship between different generations of women and how the power shifts as the old, as they must, get old and the young move on... it is a story told beautifully

SUNDAY EXPRESS

As ever, Trollope writes about family life with wit, intelligence and verve

GUARDIAN

This thoroughly engaging, intelligent, literate novel
