  • "Ce roman qui a pour héros des membres de la "uppper class" anglaise pendant les années 1920, est centré sur les aventures, plus que sur les états d'âme, d'une jeune fille, Flora, qui s'éprend de plusieurs jeunes gens à la fois (selon C. Jordis). Selon V. Jacob (de ##L'Evénement du jeudi##), l'oeuvre très agréablement frivole, candide et cynique, contient aussi des "leçons politiques" (l'auteure s'affirme de gauche) en filigrane."
