What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘A wonderfully entertaining novel which cannot fail to delight.’
‘A wonderfully entertaining novel which cannot fail to delight.’ - The Times
’…a novel of great seriousness that is also blistering fun.’ - Daily Express
’…a suburban black comedy that only the master of the genre, Nigel Williams, could pull off with such outrageous wit. It’s been ten years since his last novel, but well worth the wait.’ - Daily Mail
‘Witty and humane.’ - Tatler
[Williams] is a consummate entertainer. As with all good comedy, this tale is underlain by a vein of sadness and regret, of belated self-knowledge and understanding. - The Herald
This is a cruel, clever, hilarious and stylish novel in which almost everyone is simultaneously villain and victim. - The Times
A wonderfully entertaining novel which cannot fail to delight - The Times
Unfaithfully Yours in a literary tour de force by Nigel Williams; take it on holiday and laugh yourself silly this summer. - Tribune
