The book I’ll be pressing into people’s hands forever is Lolly Willowes … Starting as a straightforward, albeit beautifully written family saga, it tips suddenly into extraordinary, lucid wildness – Helen Macdonald * The New York Times Book Review *
A great shout of life and individuality … an act of defiance that gladdens the soul – Justine Jordan * Guardian *
My comfort read – Tracey Thorn
