Media Reviews
Blisteringly funny, and sad Financial Times website [A] simple, funny and very engaging premise ... Mulligan rewrites tragedy as a triumph, and turns the story into a neat way to explore friendship and tolerance. -- Josh Lacey Guardian One of the best storytellers Mr Ripley's Enchanted Books Mulligan certainly delivers in this extraordinary examination of grief ... A highly original, emotionally-charged black comedy/thriller. A worthy successor to Mulligan's excellent Trash. -- Sally Morris Daily Mail [A] poignant, imaginative take on adolescence -- Amanda Craig The Times, Saturday Review
