What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘So ingeniously constructed, its truths and falsehoods are so deftly and convincingly interwoven, that its solution… is as jolting as a flash of lightning’ Sunday Times ‘About the power of taboos, transgressions, guitls, deceptions, horrors, atonements, upsets and upheavals… gripping’ Independent ‘Vine’s control of plot and pure horripilation… simultaneously thrills and disquiets. She goes for the imagination as a lesser writer would go for the jugular’ Literary Review
