'I greedily consumed every paragraph, and yearned for more free time when I had to put the book down to do something inconsequential like work or sleep ... I can't remember the last time a work of fiction aroused such sympathy and indignant anger in me ... one of the most memorable and brilliant books I've read this year' - Bookmunch
'Great page-turner... written so vividly, in such a freewheeling style... By the time I'd finished this wonderful novel, I was hoping for a sequel' - Ailsa Cox, Litro
'Deeply engrossing ... a fine novel written with great skill and empathy' - Susan Osborne, A Life in Books
