Rachel Simhon wrote about these short stories in her review that: 'Written between 1943 and 1947, they strip the period of its cinematic cliches... In this slim volume Berridge covers such universal subjects as widowhood, loneliness, a woman's struggle to reconcile the need of her husband with those of her child..."
All the stories are written in a spare, direct style reminiscent of another Elizabeth - Elizabeth Taylor, to whom Berridge bears many similarities.
