Heartwarming and observant * Stylist *
Strenuously charming…surprisingly tender * Metro *
One of the more authentic debuts I’ve read in recent years… A fine novel. * The Irish Times *
An undercurrent of black comedy accompanies the ripples that ensue - but with a pathos that makes this deftly plotted story as moving as it is compelling. * Sunday Mirror *
charming…thoughtfully done…highly enjoyable. * the Guardian *
Full of emotion and tense moments. You will be gripped from the first page. * Woman’s Own *
