	JS Online: Paintings provide muse for novelists
		Deborah Moggach was inspired, 300 years later, by Job Berkheyde.
		Deborah Moggach has said that her 1999 novel, "Tulip Fever," was inspired by the work of another 17th-century Dutch painter, Job Berkheyde.
		Moggach couldn't pass up the opportunity to write her 13th novel after contemplating Berkheyde's portrait of one woman fastening a necklace on another.

	Camden New Journal
		DEBORAH Moggach is caught between the pull of film in one direction and the cloistered life of the novelist in the other.
		At her home in South End Green Deborah says: “It would have been the biggest film of the year, and so classy, but it was knocked on the head by number-crunching men in suits who haven’t a clue.
		Deborah, who likes to appear in all her films as an extra, says: “She re-wrote a scene where I was going to be drinking in a tavern, by setting it in an oak wood, so I didn’t do it.”

		The two carry out their affair with increasing doses of rashness and deception, meanwhile becoming dependent on the complicity of a servant, the astonishing gullibility of the old man, and the fast cash to be made on the tulip-bulb exchange.
		The plot of Moggach's 13th novel neatly matches the speculative frenzy of the period, careening from one improbable thrill to the next.
		Although Moggach, a well-known TV writer and prolific novelist in her native Britain, has published here before, this book, a bestseller at home last year, is the one that is likely to be her breakout on this side of the water.

	Final Demand - Compare prices
		Deborah Moggach's Final Demand is a bleak, uncompromising novel about the greed and selfishness of Natalie, the novel's tough, street-wise heroine.
		Final Demand is very different from Moggach's enormously successful Tulip Fever, but it catches the amoral, cynical world of Natalie and all the characters that she proceeds to dupe in a series of ever bleaker situations.
		At times, the story loses focus as Moggach follows those affected by Natalie's misdemeanours, while her heroine is so thoroughly selfish that it become difficult to sympathise with her plight.

		SHOULD some wily entrepreneur find the time to read Deborah Moggach’s poignantly funny new novel, he or she will discover a gift of an idea for a global, money-spinning franchise that could also salve the guilt of all those 50-somethings worrying about what’s to become of their aged parents.
		As a writer, Moggach says she usually sits at her desk thinking: "What if?" With These Foolish Things she began by asking, "What when?" Now she believes her idea is inevitable.
		Meanwhile life is "incredibly exciting" for Moggach, who as well as being a successful novelist is an accomplished screenwriter.

	Telegraph \| Arts \| The old age pensioners go East
		Deborah Moggach's novel begins with a tabloid headline - "Two Days!" - and a suitably lurid tale about a septuagenarian woman left unattended in a hospital cubicle for 48 hours.
		The set-up is cumbersome and one feels that there has to be some simpler way for Deborah Moggach to get her cast of elderly English oddballs to India.
		Moggach has intuited that the most important thing about the residents of Dunroamin is that they are not simply sitting around, waiting to die: the possibility of tumultuous change is there, if they are brave enough to seize it.

		Screenwriter Deborah Moggach skillfully adapted both books, compressing the time scale to provide one narrative which takes place in the 1930s, when the second world war cast a huge shadow over Europe.
		Moggach's was a daunting task, but the end result is one Hooper hopes Nancy Mitford, who died in 1973, would approve of.

	Tonight - These Foolish Things - Deborah Moggach
		Deborah Moggach, who has a nose for the themed novel, whether it's on incest or child custody, has now spiritedly taken on the globalisation of long-term care.
		It is spurred into being by Ravi's desperation at the presence, in his once quiet Dulwich house, of his odious father-in-law, Norman Purse, an apparently indestructible widower who has spent his life oppressing his family and having sex with prostitutes in foreign parts
		In the first third of the book, Moggach gathers her intriguing cast, who will soon be assembled, Cluedo-like, in Dunroamin.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Review: These Foolish Things by Deborah Moggach
		Moggach is too fond of colour and comedy for social realism, but neither does she dabble in faux spirituality, and so the India of These Foolish Things is not the country that Ravi accuses his wife of falsely romanticising - "You British go there - oh the poverty, oh the sunsets!
		Moggach, a prolific novelist, makes it her priority to deliver thoughtful, satisfying stories leavened with wit and humanity, peopled by ordinary characters and packaged in excellent unpretentious prose.
		Moggach is one of that much more welcome breed - "a reader's writer".

	Tulip Fever
		We presumed that it was written more as a treatment for a film script than as a fully realised, satisfactorily fleshed-out novel for one could not wallow into this at all, despite it being such light stuff.
		There's not enough in any of the characters for you really to care about them and Deborah Moggach could have relaxed into the novel more and created depth and colour to make this happen.
		Good drunken scenes, possibly because they were sustained beyond the normal paragraph or 2 and so were long enough to generate some momentum.

	... 'Tulip Fever' by Deborah Moggach - at Loanspage.co.uk books for Loans.
		What Schama identified at the heart of the opulent display of conspicuous consumption in Dutch still-life painting was an anxiety about wealth and commodification which ran throughout 17th-century life in the Low Countries, an argument beautifully complemented by Ann Pavord's marvellous book on The Tulip.
		Deborah Moggach's novel Tulip Fever gives both Schama and Pavord's studies a compelling fictional twist.
		Moggach captures the spirit of 17th century Holland perfectly here.

		Writer Deborah Moggach, based on the novel by Jane Austen
		Normally po-faced and formal, these parties give the girls their only chance of social interaction, which for them means dancing like mad and giggling at the ineptitude of their partners.
		Finally, after appreciating the feminist touches in Deborah Moggach's adaptation of Jane Austen's most famous novel and the genuine pleasure of watching Knightley grow into her role, there is one glaring miscalculation.
