Critics Review

This is a compulsive read, sure to stir the dust

Stunning… a haunting work of art. - Newsweek

Chris Cleave has the ability to create moving and beautiful scenes within a terrifying backdrop. I couldn’t put it down; it’s subversive, thought-provoking and well-written. - Observer, Books of the Year

Richly sardonic and often disarmingly poignant… How can one fail to be impressed and moved? - Guardian

Cleave’s heroine is by turns funny, sad, flawed, sympathetic, both damaged and indomitable, and triumphantly convincing. - Sunday Telegraph

Stunning - New York Times AND International Herald Tribune AND Bookmarks Magazine

This is a compulsive read, sure to stir the dust - CITY AM

Searing.. poignant and compelling.. Utterly believable and mesmerizing - Newsday

Dark, tense and undeniably provocative - Metro
