‘Hillman’s ability to conjure up the rhythms and texture of rural life is a source of joy…This is a novel about the importance of freedom as well as the redemptive qualities of love – and how facing up to the past can be the key to both freedom and love.’ – Saturday Paper on The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted
‘Vivid and moving.’ * Age *
