...contains more conversation than narrative, ecstatic critics are likening her to Jane Austen. But the light touch and the subtleties of the 19th century novelist are not Margot's-hers is rather a brilliant vivacity that springs from her myriad interests. Able horsewoman, her interest reflects itself in frequent contemplation of the technicalities of horseflesh.
