'Our young eponymous heroine, Zepherine Pollack has always
considered it her destiny to be a writer, and in the first sentence
of the book announces her intention to become ''the unintelligent
woman's Iris Murdoch''. ''Inspiration'', she decides, ''is divine
intervention and I've been chosen to be intervened''.' "Sunday
Times"
'Barker depicts Zeph's literary pretensions and plagiarism in a
dazzling collage of pastiche and self-mockery, parodying a range of
English literary styles from Tennyson to Booker-derived
poetic-prose posturing. But it is her own gift for word-play,
nuance and subtle exposition of the unstated that gives the novel
its unique texture.' "Times Literary Supplement"
