A well-imagined and endlessly thought-provoking story * Telegraph *
Poignant, thought-provoking ... Sharing the visionary quality of books such as 'The Handmaid's Tale' and 'How I Live Now', The Declaration is one of those rare books that changes the way you see the world. * Publishing News *
Extremely chilling and, in places, quite harrowing * Books for Keeps *
