Critics Review
The lustre, energy and panache of her writing are as striking as ever…Funny, bold and memorable * The Times *
Beautifully written…brimming with quirky characters and original storytelling. Kate Atkinson has struck gold with this unique offering * Time Out *
Sends jolts of pleasure off the page…Atkinson’s funniest foray yet…it is a work of Dickensian or even Shakespearean plenty * The Scotsman *
A truly comic novel - achingly funny in parts - challenging and executed with wit and mischief…hilarious and magical * Daily Express *
Her novels are remarkable both in and of themselves, and as evidence of an important emerging body of work from a brilliant and profoundly original writer * Daily Telegraph *
With just two novels, Atkinson has added new colour to the British literary landscape * Guardian *
