Review
'Her writing has a direct, uncluttered quality ... The low key marginal kind of life ... has no better chronicler' D.J. TAYLOR, INDEPENDENT 'It is in its delicate exploration of the murky ground between objective assessment for life and irrational affection for a person that the novel compels' TLS 'This remarkable novel begins low-key and builds to a devastating conclusion' JUDY COOKE, MAIL ON SUNDAY
