'Exceptionally smart, wild and brimming with sardonic wit... A gourmet read from first course to last' Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal
Praise for Kate Atkinson

Kate Atkinson is an international treasure- She creates characters with the ease of Agatha Christie, makes narratives out of mysteries and mystery out of narrative' Vanity Fair
'Sharp humour, together with a number of unexpected twists makes this a typically pacey and intelligent read' Daily Mail
'Spot on characterizations, pitch perfect observations of contemporary culture and a sharp, wisecracking narrative voice' Time Out
