Review
"Melancholic, mysterious and heartbreakingly gorgeous."
-- "The Times" (UK)
"Rosie Alison's debut novel grips from start to finish. . . . Alison writes with a real understanding of the period and true compassion for her characters and the plot develops in unexpected and often shocking ways. Without question one of the best debuts I've read in recent years."
-- John Boyne, author of The House of Special Purpose and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
'Enjoyable . . . moving . . . A sincere attempt to depict the reverberations of war - chronicling fractured relationships and the inability to love in the right way. . . . Anna is a likeable and memorable heroine.'
"-- The Guardian" (UK)
'Elegantly constructed, with a plangent dying fall of a twist in the final scene.'
"-- The Telegraph" (UK)
