'Helen Ashton has the power of writing about people as though she
had known them all her life. One feels that one has lived next door
to Martin Lovell ever since the day when he first set up house with
Letty in chambers on the north side of Gray's Inn Square' wrote the
"TLS" in 1932. Unusually, "Bricks and Mortar" is about the life of
a London architect from the 1890s to the early 1930s; it is, as
well, about a 'very decent, simple, sweet-minded creature' who
realises that his marriage has been a mistake yet makes the best of
things: because he has dignity, commonsense and kindness, and is
'very much in love with his profession', he has his own special
brand of heroism. 'The story of Martin and his marriage is
affecting, and all the more appealing for Ashton's irony and wit'
said "The Times"; 'intelligent and serious, vividly evoking the
period, in parts genuinely touching' wrote the "Victorian Society
Journal".
