Reviews

'Meg Henderson's fiction deals with all the big issues in women's lives, from hair to heredity... If you like the rich detail of domestic lives, told with humour and sharpness, Bloody Mary will do nicely.' Scotland on Sunday 'A potent blend of the spirited and the sanguine... In her stride, Henderson can mix it with the best of them, her generosity of spirit shining through.' Sunday Herald
