<p>‘It is a book that takes its characters pretty seriously, feeling their pain and acknowledging the complexity and muddle of their lives…the strength of this book comes from the sheer quality of the writing.’ Guardian</p>
<p>‘A very special and terrifically enjoyable book. Not to be missed.’ Daily Mail</p>
