The Hiding Place

Azzopardi is an assured magician when it comes to tricks to keep the readers turning the pages … An astonishingly accomplished book * The Independent *
An extraordinarily instinctive writer with a delicate feel for language … A scalding, thrilling book – Maggie O’Farrell * The Observer *
An accomplished and courageous debut … In its sheer strangeness and poetic charge, the novel sometimes recalls other literary one-offs such as Wuthering Heights * Times Literary Supplement *
Remarkably perceptive … Like the gritty world they inhabit, Azzopardi’s characters command a ragged, sharp-edged dignity in this haunting debut * Kirkus Reviews *
The Hiding Place manages to be heart-breaking without being sentimental. Fans of Kate Atkinson and Andrea Ashworth will love this. Read it and weep * The Mirror *
A gripping tale, horrifying and often funny … The relationship between the girls, who must fight to survive, is brilliantly evoked * Marie Claire *
Accomplished … [It] proceeds at a cracking pace, full of neat but unobtrusive gestures at the horrors beneath … Sharply written, full of crisp little vignettes and cameos * The Guardian *
