From the back jacket flap of Open the Door:

LOOK, STRANGER
'Exquisitely written novel about an island community somewhere off the south coast of England, written for the most part in wonderfully funny, almost dream-like dialogue. Miss Rose Macaulay's elegant shoes are still unfilled; there is no doubt that Miss Rosemary Manning fits them to a T.' - Penelope Mortimer, Sunday Times
'Quite startling qualities of remoteness and stylisation . . . as though the strains of Miss Ivy Compton-Burnett and the late T.F. Powys had become improbably crossed.' - The Times Literary Supplement
