Review
"Original, challenging, entertaining and, frankly, bizarre ... warm and hilarious, highly individual literary style which crackles with energy" Guardian "It's a gallimaufry of ghastly giggly stuff ... good, disgusting fun" Financial Times "Debi Gliori ... reveals a talent for wild comedy, linguistic invention and pastiche ... Wonderful stuff" Daily Telegraph "Heart-warming tale" The Good Book Guide
