«Ho letto tutti i libri di Elizabeth von Arnim ... Straordinaria.» Edmund de Waal, autore di Un’eredità di avorio e ambra «Una folla di raffinati lettori ha scoperto a poco a poco i romanzi di questa scrittrice ironica, spregiudicata, fuori da ogni corrente letteraria, spesso crudelissima nel descrivere una società boriosa, superficiale, vecchia, ingiusta soprattutto verso le donne.» la Repubblica - Natalia Aspesi «Cattiva, spiritosa, anticonvenzionale, lungimirante, Elizabeth von Arnim... racconta con verve e un acuto occhio sociale i tic e i tabù della buona società.» Vanity Fair - Irene Bignardi «La donna più intelligente della sua epoca, capace di confliggere, attraverso il dono di una grazia urticante, con il durissimo velluto della società che la circonda.» TTL - La Stampa - Mirella Appiotti «Irresistibile per humour, sottigliezza psicologica, fini descrizioni d’ambiente.» Corriere della Sera - Serena Zoli ««Un romanzo incantevole e avvincente, con finale a sorpresa, sulla bellezza e il tempo che la sfalda: Elizabeth von Arnim è irresistibile per humour, sottigliezza psicologica, fini descrizioni d’ambiente». » «Corriere della Sera» - Serena Zoli ««Cattiva, spiritosa, anticonvezionale, lungimirante, Elizabeth von Arnim racconta con verve e un acuto occhio sociale i tic e i tabù della buona società». » «Vanity Fair» - Irene Bignardi ««Elizabeth von Arnim, ironica e crudele, distrugge qui allegramente gli uomini... per non parlare delle signore, poverine anche loro, allora come adesso». » «la Repubblica» - Natalia Aspesi All’approssimarsi del suo cinquantesimo compleanno Fanny, che ha da tempo divorziato da Mr Skeffington e ha vissuto molte altre storie senza pensare più a lui, è sorpresa dal riaffiorare dei ricordi che la riportano alla propria giovinezza, quando era bella e ricca di fascino. Per una serie di circostanze, ma anche per volontà deliberata, ritrova gli uomini che aveva conquistato un tempo: ma tutti si sono fatti una nuova vita e non intendono rimettersi in gioco. Attraverso una serie di incontri spesso esilaranti che mettono a nudo con la consueta fine sensibilità i vari aspetti del comportamento maschile, Fanny è costretta a rendersi conto del peso che ha avuto nella sua vita una bellezza ormai svanita. Se vuole sopravvivere deve confrontarsi con una diversa percezione di sé e riorganizzare la propria esistenza. Arguta e profonda come sempre, Elizabeth von Arnim ci regala una commedia tenera e ironica sulla bellezza e il suo sfiorire, i vecchi amori e la raggiunta maturità.

" Un élément nouveau inquiète Lady Skeffington : Elle ne parvient pas à chasser de son esprit le souvenir soudain récurrent de son mari dont elle a pourtant divorcé depuis fort longtemps. C'est une situation sans issue que de tenter de faire disparaître quelqu'un qui n'est pas là, soupire-t-elle. Ni ses anciens amants, sur qui elle cherchera à exercer une utltime séduction, ni même une vieille dame, dont elle sollicitera en vain l'amitié, ne l'aideront à détruire le diagnostic infamant de son psychiatre : sa jeunesse et sa beauté se sont enfuies. Délicatesse de ton, nuances ironiques et humour acerbe, Elisabeth von Arnim, en dépit de son nom allemand, est typiquement anglaise ". Jean-Claude Le Covec, Figaro Magazine
