The Space Between

A beautifully written tale … 4 Stars * WOMAN’S OWN *One hallmark of a Billington book is elegant, apparently effortless plotting. … THE SPACE BETWEEN, told with wit and insight, leaves an overall effect that is light but never lightweight * INDEPENDENT *Billington’s perceptive portrait of the complications of modern life is a Jane Austen for the 21st century * GOOD BOOK GUIDE *This is a good story, told by a sympathetic, compassionate and wise writer … this leaves one full of admiration for the author: she is in the front rank of those who write of women’s lives * THE TABLET *Despite its pacy and occasionally steamy content, this is a quaint, laid-back novel perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon * YOU MAGAZINE *When the denouement finally comes, with bullets and literal cliffhangers, I was unaccountably reminded of hours of enjoyment reading about the famous five on Kirrin Island, although Rachel Billington’s heroine has graduated from lashings of ginger beer to glasses of champagne and from egg sandwiches to seabass. Nevertheless, the same sense of enjoyment in both skullduggery and the good things in life remain * SPECTATOR *
