Critics Review
Both funny and poignant * Reader’s Digest *
George Baxter is one of those rare characters in a novel that you feel you’ve known all your life. Full of hilarious set pieces and moments of tender reflection, A New Map of Love sneaks up on you, the last page is as lovely as the first. I loved it. – Kit de Waal, author of Costa-shortlisted My Name is Leon
A New Map of Love is an acute and beguiling study of life, love and the endless flat footed dance of men and women. – Sarah Dunant
Poignant, funny and ultimately uplifting * Lancashire Post *
Think Midsomer without the murders and you’ll come close to this charming, old-fashioned story * S Magazine *
