The atmosphere of the cheap cafes...is subtly caught. Packed tight with wit and understanding, it lights the London Scene * Scotsman *
Chipper is the word: Gibbons's heroines are plucky, determined and quietly hedonistic. But she can do melancholy with the best of them, too, not to mention melodrama * Guardian *
Stella Gibbons...an exception to that old canard: women can't make us laugh * Independent *
The Jane Austen of the 20th century -- Lynne Truss
