Review
"Victoria Glendinning is a better biographer than novelist, though The Grown-ups is superior to a number of modern works of fiction. Episodic novels are very hard to carry off, and this one is entirely too episodic for easy reading. Perhaps Glendinning should try a more traditional novel— or turn back to biography where she has been eminently successful."
