What I absolutely love about Jocelyn Dexter’s books are how much they surprise me, and The Doll is no exception. There’s obviously something ‘not quite right’ about Barney Snapp, and his dolls are only the start of it. Home-schooled and still isolated ...more

An great book. Lucy Steeds does an incredible job at bringing to life the hot, dusty, French countryside, and the food featured in the book is exquisitely described in rich, sensual detail. This is a wonderful story, and the characters are beautifull ...more
