About the contributors
Reviews
-
'A beautiful book, savage and tender by turns ... attending to Esther Freud's still, truthful voice becomes not only a pleasure but a necessity'
Jonathan Coe
-
'Wonderful ... Freud has a precious and remarkable gift for creating fictional children. She is infinitely patient with the subtle differences between the worlds of children and adults, and her descriptions of the collisions between them are hauntingly beautiful'
The Times
-
'Ranks alongside Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha as one of the very few great contemporary novels about childhood'
William Sutcliffe, Independent on Sunday
-
'I cannot remember reading so exact and involving an evocation of what it is like to be a child'
Daily Telegraph
