Critics Review
Atmospheric, creepy and original, Judy has written a blinder of a first novel - Sun on Eloise
Highly readable, incredibly moving in parts, and with wonderful echoes of Daphne Du Maurier, Eloise had me turning pages late into the night - Dorothy Koomson on Eloise[Eloise] has a life of its own thanks to Finnigan’s lack of pretension, light touch and obvious passion for the Cornish landscape, which is so lovingly described it’s almost a character in its own right. A warm and promising debut - Daily Mail on EloiseA moving meditation on grief, family bonds, motherhood and female friendship - Sunday Express on EloiseA haunting, pacy page-turner, with a real ghostly feel - a must read - Fabulous Magazine on EloiseWith her second novel, TV presenter and book club founder Judy Finnigan deserves to be taken seriously as a writer. I DO NOT SLEEP is a tense atmospheric story about a mother who refuses to accept her son is dead - Good HousekeepingThere’s plenty of emotion in this story… Set in Cornwall, there is melodrama and mysticism and a strong sense of place. - Sunday MirrorJudy Finnigan’s Cornwall has echoes of du Marurier… (and) is as much a homage to her adopted home of Cornwall as it is a tale of the imponderable - a mother’s grief for her lost son… A cracking read - Irish IndependentAbout The Author
