Critics Review
A quirky tale
A quirky tale * Good Book Guide *This is an eccentric look at London through the eyes of an eccentric – Rachel Holdsworth * Londonist *This is a deeply quirky and very charming first novel. – Kate Saunders * The Times *Like a stylish animated film, wry and easy and mischievous…the novel is perfectly formed, but not pat: some characters find redemption, others just carry on. – Mark Greaves * Spectator *It’s an offbeat and magical look at London that’s completely captivating. The descriptions of the city are so vivid, it’s as if you’re seeing them for the first time. * Now Magazine *Quirky and heartwarming. – Fanny Blake * Woman and Home *Perfect for summer reading. * Perks of Being a Bookworm *I would love to see a sequel. – Fleur FisherFresh and unusual novel…I would definitely recommend. * Hanging on Every Word *It’s at its heart a coming-of-age novel about a girl who has a lot to learn about the world and a world that has a lot to learn about a girl. Intriguing and interesting – don’t miss. – Claire Frost * Fabulous *
