It's meaty, dark and terrifying. Unflinchingly violent and beautifully big-hearted in equal measure. And <b>Sarah's writing is glorious</b> - she tells us things in new ways, gives us a fully fleshed, sensual world to inhabit for the novel
- Julia Crouch,
I think it must be <b>one of the debut novels of next year, if not THE debut novel</b>... (It will be if there is any justice in the world!)
- Caro Ramsay,
<b>Intelligently and fluently written</b> with a clever plot and an energetic pace, dealing with harrowing topics and shot through with humanity, I think <b>Sarah's onto a winning series </b>and I really look forward to reading the next instalment
- Cath Staincliffe,
It's <b>written with the verve and assurance of a future star</b> and deserves to be a big hit
- Steven Dunne,
It has such <b>pace and force.</b> It's very disturbing and <b>builds up to a terrific climax</b>
- Helen Dunmore,
I finished it today and it's <b>completely brilliant, complex, thrilling, brutal, tender, scary and intriguing</b>. What a great book. The pacing is superb, the plot is compelling, the characters are so well drawn. <b>The ending is ingenious</b>
