Critics Review

‘This is a wonderful book. Intriguing, moving, absorbing. It explores universal emotions, and particular feelings. It’s also a great read.’

‘This is a wonderful book. Intriguing, moving, absorbing. It explores universal emotions, and particular feelings. It’s also a great read.’ – Daniel Finkelstein (associate editor) ‘…a terrific novel by an accomplished writer, and deserves to cause a stir, with its brutally topical setting and the frank, poignant and bitter-sweet stories of its main characters. Loved it, and would strongly recommend it.’ – Edwina Currie (politician, broadcaster and writer) ‘A beautifully observed, carefully crafted, often touching, sometimes shocking, and always compelling read.’
