Sleek, dark and dangerous. Celia Rees has ventured into new territory and returned with explosives||In a remarkable book that manages to be both lyrical and gritty in the same breath, Celia Rees takes us into an apparently ordinary world where love, betrayal, faith and violence appear hand in hand on virtually every page. I love it for its deceptively gentle prose, its totally believable characters and its vortex of a plot||Its momentum is impressive
Daily Mail||This is a fantastic novel - dark and ominous but at the same time intimate and quite beautiful
