The Promise of Welfare in the Postwar British and Anglophone Novel: States of Repair is a refreshing and thought-provoking study... Rich takes a two-pronged approach that emphasizes, through lively close readings and rigorous historical framing, how the novels under consideration revive the promises inherent in the creation of the welfare state, particularly the promises of care and repair, the fulfilment of which she argues always remains ultimately impossible... [Her readings] are bolstered impressively by rigorous historical research as well as wide reading throughout contemporary British fiction, so that surprising connections and points of contrast emerge across post-war time and space. * Paula Derdiger, The Review of English Studies *
