Barbara Trapido couldn’t write a boring sentence if she tried
- FAY WELDON,
Ravishing
SUNDAY TIMES
A brilliant book
- MARY WESLEY, DAILY MAIL
She wraps up all the golden threads with dazzling wit ... Think Measure for Measure here and a touch of The Tempest there ... Trapido's pen drips with sensuousness and sexuality
THE TIMES
She is simply dynamite … There are no apparent bounds to Trapido’s skill, her inventiveness and her knowledge of the endlessly surprising and devious ways in which people deal with each other
- PHILIP HENSHER, GUARDIAN
Juggling by Barbara Trapido is, I think, already well known but it should be even more so. It has the best piece of Shakespeare criticism in it I’ve ever read
- KATHERINE RUNDELL, GUARDIAN
A joy to read … Supremely skilful
OBSERVER
A work of enormous charm, highly entertaining and told with a deft touch, which handles serious matters lightly and treats light ones with proper respect
INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
A brilliant performance; it is also a magically enjoyable book to read … she understand her characters and cares about them and makes you care too
SPECTATOR
She weaves a cat’s cradle of wit and erudition around her high-stepping characters, take breath-taking risks and triumphs against all the odds
INDEPENDENT
A brilliant performance … A magically enjoyable book
