Critics Review

A modern Gothic novel unlike any other, about love and loss echoing through the ages. Sad, sweet, funny and hopeful. * Emilia Hart (author of Weyward) *An original yet entirely universal story - sweeping in its scale, yet sweet-tempered, moving, and just the right amount of spooky. I loved it. * Samuel Burr (author of The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers) *Love Is a Curse uses Gothic so cleverly. All the elements are here - the nested stories, a haunted church, fate, curses, and storms - but it plays with them brilliantly, and in unexpected ways. I binged the ending in one sitting and was absolutely gripped (and may have had a tear or two in my eye!). * Sarah Brooks (author of The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wasteland) *A fabulous story of heartbreak and hope … brilliantly woven * Prima *
