Praise for Elizabeth's work:

'Intricately beautiful and abruptly brutal ... I greedily consumed every paragraph, and yearned for more free time when I had to put the book down to do something inconsequential like work or sleep ... I can't remember the last time a work of fiction aroused such sympathy and indignant anger in me ... one of the most memorable and brilliant books I've read this year' - Bookmunch on Astral Travel.

'It'll blow you away when you least expect it' - Charlie Place, The Worm Hole on Used to Be.

'Moving and compelling' - Sarah Salway on Too Many Magpies

'Quite swept me off my feet' - Dovegreyreader on Balancing on the Edge of the World

'A gripping story, a pithy book' - Katy Campbell on The Birth Machine

Reviews

[Elizabeth Baines]

I wrote it, so I've decided not to rate it! What did I learn from writing it? To write at a bit more length than my first novel, The Birth Machine!
