[Gill Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beyond brilliant! I am a diehard Stella Duffy fan but this is one of her best.
May not appeal to those of conventional tastes but it is.... Intriguing, touching, funny, strange, engaging... brilliant..

[Alison · Rating 5 out of 5]

Funny, clever, unexpected and makes you cry. I'd say thought-provoking, but that implies dull, which this certainly ain't.

[Lesley Book Lover · Rating 3 out of 5]

Strange book, won't be reading anymore by this author.
