Review
'Humour, humanity and relish for the enjoyably mundane' -- Elizabeth Buchan, The Times 'A feel-good novel ... hilarious ... humorous ... fabulously incisive' -- Independent 'Well-told and enjoyable ... [the voice] is that of someone genuinely interested in the varieties of human experience, amused but not mocking, understanding but not judgmental' -- Sunday Telegraph 'A sure touch for dramatising the lacerations and upheavals of ordinary life' -- Sunday Times 'Ms Purves has the gift of tongues - a born novelist' -- Fay Weldon 'A glorious romp ... with a healthy dose of satire on media manners and a generous injection of knockabout comedy into the bargain' -- Country Living 'One to sell like hotcakes, Purves' depiction of family chaos will make you laugh out loud' -- She
