Acknowledged as one of the best novelists of her generation...Beryl's literary fiction can have a quality of a detective story: only when we reach a novel's final denouement do we see that we were given the key to its coded mystery at the start. A certain menace emanates from a story's first page and builds almost imperceptibly to its climax in a refined but savage violence
