Critics Review
‘So much fascinating detail that the reader’s attention never wanders for a moment.’
Delightful … the two stories are brought together with marvellous skill - The Times

McKenzie has a natural, fluid writing style - ScotsmanA rollicking ride on the high seas - Scotland on SundayPraise for The Chapel at the Edge of the World:‘If you only read one book this summer, though, make it The Chapel at the Edge of The World, the debut novel by Kirsten McKenzie’ - Sunday Herald‘Unusual, fluently written… [an] unshowy absorbing read’ - Guardian‘McKenzie’s book grows impressively and movingly into its author’s distinct vision’ - Daily Mail‘So much fascinating detail that the reader s attention never wanders for a moment. - Morning StarAbout The Author
