The Literary Review

A satirical comedy of manners on the ways business and finance interact - and is a whole lot of fun too. Wonderful and fanciful...High Time is fast-paced and high energy, but also contains moment of real sentiment. Hannah proves her deftness for wit and style in this Mitfordesque satire.
