Description
An honest and moving portrait of the everyday messiness of life, and the complications of love
An extraordinary work . . . nothing she has written in the past quite prepared me for the depth and richness of The Needle's Eye
The Needle's Eye is that rare thing, a book one wishes were longer than it is
Probing, entertaining, dazzling
Praise for Margaret Drabble: One of the most thought-provoking and intellectually challenging writers around
I have learned so much from Margaret Drabble's work. Her prose is very beautiful, very funny, and at the same time very serious. Novels like The Millstone and Jerusalem the Golden have helped me to understand what great writing can be
She was one of the most assiduous chroniclers of female experience in Britain during that time. Drabble's work has always been characterised by astute social observation
Each of Margaret Drabble's novels has been an extraordinary leap forward
One of the most versatile and accomplished authors of her generation
One of our foremost women writers
