Critics Review
A stunning new voice in British literary fiction. - Independent
Luminous - Observer New ReviewGorgeous … Andrews’s writing is transportingly voluptuous, conjuring tastes and smells and sounds like her literary godmother, Edna O’Brien. - New York TimesRaw, intimate and authentic … Andrews obviously has talent. - The Sunday TimesLyrically poetic - Evening StandardA sharply observed and poignant first outing. - Daily MailDisarmingly honest … I found parts of this novel intensely moving. - GuardianThis book is sublime. It dares to be different, to look in a different way. Andrews is not filling anyone’s shoes, she is destroying the shoes and building them from scratch. - Daisy Johnson, author of Everything UnderAbout The Author
