Perhaps a bit dated in terms of attitudes to women but a good story and very funny. First read it 40 years ago, liked it more 2nd time around.

A fine novel with interesting characters and a reminder of how difficult life was for gay men before the 1967 act. The word 'gay' appears early on in a homosexual sense which was rare for 1952. I thought that
the reader might have been told more about Bernard's literary output also the brief relationship between Elizabeth and Terence lacked plausibility, for me. But these are minor quibbles.

Excellent. I learnt so much. Absolutely on the right side of history but in no way hectoring or preachy.
