Review:
`One of those books that grabs you and demands to be read' * Clare Morrall * `What's most startling about this novel is how de Vigan makes the mundane come alive. She's an expert in detail, charging even the most ordinary situation with emotion, which makes for a massively affecting read' * Psychologies Magazine * `Delphine de Vigan is a sensation' * Observer * `Sympathetic, compelling, enjoyable' * Guardian *
