Critics Review
‘This is high-class intrigue and heart-warming life lessons, shot through with Graham’s trademark sharp humour and social observation’ The Good Book Guide.
‘Laurie Graham, what a find! … Graham’s taut, colourful, slightly camp style mingles Alan Bennett with Sue Townsend - does it get better than that?’ Wendy Holden, Daily Mail. * Daily Mail *‘This is high-class intrigue and heart-warming life lessons, shot through with Graham’s trademark sharp humour and social observation’ The Good Book Guide. * Good Book Guide *‘Quirky, unusual and lots of fun … Full of unexpected twists, turns, and hilarious characters I really enjoyed this book. Written with gentle humour, satire and lots of fun, this is a lovely escapist book to cheer you up in the Winter’ Sixty Plus Surfers. * Sixty Plus Surfers *‘Laurie Graham’s grip on the art of subversive comedy is as masterful as ever’ Lizzie Buchan, Sunday Times. * Sunday Times *‘At Sea is a comedy of errors that will keep the reader intrigued until the last page. I didn’t want to disembark’ Buzz. * Buzz *‘Every line of this wonderfully subversive, positively Wodehousian comedy is hilarious. Curiously, this is my first encounter with a Laurie Graham novel and, so cheering was it, I am overjoyed to find there is a long backlist’ Carla McKay, Daily Mail. * Daily Mail *
