is a thrilling debut, a true story that reads like a classy,
compelling fiction’ The Times ‘A moving and impressive debut’
Telegraph ‘Deftly captures the looking-glass world of the

shows the past is nearer than we think. Flyn is a writer with a
gimlet eye and a big heart' Ben Rawlence ‘Thicker Than Water
