5.0 out of 5 stars The arrival of a distinctive style, January 9, 2000
By 
D.Butler (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pastors and Masters (Hardcover)
Ivy Compton-Burnett's first novel, Dolores, was a sprawling and sentimental romance. She was deeply ashamed of it. In Pastors and Masters we see her own distinctive style first launched, laconic, ironic and understated. The story is set in a private school and contains the usual mixture of upper middle class misfits. It is a style that demands close reading. But it makes you laugh out loud on trains and planes.
