Startling and sad -- Sarah Franklin A beautifully written story of a normal, dysfunctional family, trying to cope with grief -- Nina Pottell, notesfromthechair Suspenseful, tautly written and unnervingly psychologically astute -- Alison Mercer This debut is about to go massive - and it has us hooked from the get-go * Look Magazine * A sharp-eyed novel about grief, family and understanding * Woman & Home * A creepy, claustrophobic family drama * Glamour * A book to fall in love with... captivating, creepy and beguiling all at once -- Colette McBeth, author of THE LIFE I LEFT BEHIND This slender novel puts a fragile family under the spotlight with great effect -- Cathy Rentzenbrink * Bookseller, Editor's Choice * A hugely enjoyable novel - astutely observed, witty and original. Just my sort of book! -- Sarah Rayner, bestselling author of ONE MOMENT, ONE MORNING With characters that are sharply observed with a beady eye for detail, this is a haunting study of family, grief, and loss * Daily Mail *
