The novel was widely acclaimed. John Betjeman described it as a social novel in the same class as those of the nineteenth-century writer George Meredith.[1] It was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction.
The trilogy was filmed as a three-part miniseries by the BBC in 1977, under the title Eustace and Hilda.[2]
