As promised, here are links to other reviews of A View of the Harbour – I’ll keep adding reviews as they appear, so let me know if you’ve written one.  I haven’t included reviews written on LibraryThing, but they can be read altogether here.

“I love Elizabeth Taylor’s writing, which so vividly evokes the shabby seaside town and the recent impact of the war on its inhabitants.” – Laura, Laura’s Musings

“Elizabeth Taylor brilliantly illustrates that regardless of how banal or tedious our day-to-day lives may seem, a profusion of thoughts and emotions keeps us constantly engaged even when we are silent or solitary.” – Darlene, Roses Over A Cottage Door

“I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, it is beautifully observed, and the setting and its community are touchingly portrayed.” – Ali, HeavenAli

“As usual, I’m not sure that Taylor really likes any of her characters, and nor are they very likeable[…], but that doesn’t matter to me, as I enjoy her cool appraisal of them and their lives.” – Liz, Libro Fulltime

“Quiet, pin sharp observation & layers of undercurrents that intrigue you every time you read it.” – Alison, The TBR Pile

“The reader is allowed into the heads of these ordinary characters and that is where the magic begins.” – Liz, efandrich

“Taylor doesn’t need to create intricate plots or dramatic scenes; she deals in the quiet understatement of every day life, managing to weave a tale of enormous profundity and interest whilst making it seem as if nothing has happened at all.” – Rachel, Book Snob

“This is an extraordinarily  complex, subtle, and beautifully observed novel.” – Harriet, Harriet Devine’s Blog

“Wonderful prose carried me along, and so often I was touched by moments of pure insight and moments of vivid emotion.” – Jane, Fleur Fisher Reads
