Reviews

'Part whodunnit, part coming of age, this is a gripping debut about the secrets behind every door' RACHEL JOYCE 'An utter delight. Perceptive, funny, dark, moving. And so beautifully written. I loved it' SARAH WINMAN 'A haunting, perceptive novel about the price of belonging. It's a treasure chest of a novel and I loved it very much' JULIE COHEN 'A captivating new voice in British fiction. Not since Nathan Filer's The Shock of the Fall has a debut novel held the promise of such an exciting career ahead. One of the standout novels of the year' HANNAH BECKERMAN 'Cannon's interrogation of hypocrisy and prejudice is insightful and compassionate... I didn't want the book to end' CARYS BRAY 'An excellent debut. This cautionary tale of a suburban power struggle is charming and truthful, at once ambitious and intimate, with playful prose that reveals an intriguing mind at work' JAMES HANNAH
