Review:

All Made Up is an excellent sequel; its verbal playfulness, folksiness and wry, hard-won humour are an antidote to the neurosis and cynicism that can often characterise autobiographical writing by the authors of fiction - Independent on Sunday

Warm, vivid, true - The Times

Galloway remains a brilliant writer, capturing mood and character, time and place, with seeming effortlessness - Guardian

A fierce but forgiving tragic-comedy of manners, morality and memory recovered - The Times

Galloway is a mesmerising writer - Scotland on Sunday

Janice Galloway is as good as they come - Daily Telegraph

Galloway conjures up the atmosphere [of Saltcoats] with a loving hatred ... Her style is vivid and fluent - Observer

A tour de force of artistic licence projecting the past through the lens of the artist's imagination ... The book is a testament to Galloway's talent ... The book is a wonderful curiosity shop of the mysteries of womanhood - Scotsman
