Reviews

’A joy…the humour and pathos in their stories lends real heart and soul’ OBSERVER ‘A moving tale… sure to make you cry… Parfait [is] a convincingly serious, sweet, clever and funny person who ends up carrying the story… an epic hero … It’s going to be all over every book club in Britain before you can say Burundi’ The Times ‘I found it both a mesmerisingly beautiful portrait of a young woman discovering what home means to her, and a poignant depiction of how our actions can touch other people's lives in ways we could never have anticipated. Augusta and Parfait are wonderful characters; I was willing them on to find the happiness and peace they both deserved’ Sarah Haywood, author of The Cactus ‘Joanna Glen weaves a uniquely heartening and hopeful story. A story about pain, the solace of words and our search to belong, to a place, to a person. Welcome to the world of the wonderful Augusta Hope’ Jess Kidd, author Himself and Things in Jars ‘Without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read – an extraordinary masterpiece’ Anstey Harris, author of The Truths and Triumphs of Grace Atherton ‘Absolutely brilliant – quirky, original, funny, moving and wonderfully written. Basically, it’s everything I love in a novel; Gavin Extence, author of The Universe Versus Alex Woods ‘The most gutsy, endearing and entertaining meditation on the meaning of human existence that you're ever likely to read’ Deborah Orr
