Media Reviews
An elegiac novel, with the poignant elegance of a fading society belle - and some raucous belly laughs along the way * Guardian *
The story asks readers to accept the miraculous, and rewards them in return with a beautifully written story, full of memorable characters and scenes, and the sense that life can be wonderful if you follow the right road. * Books for Keeps *
This book sent me on a roller coaster of emotions. Despite shedding tears, I found it to be full of hope as well as being very beautiful and poignant. This is a must read for adults, let alone children! * Readingzone *
It's a wonderful story, full of laughter and gasps and the occasional tear - calling a book a future classic can be a cliche, but this one definitely deserves the accolade. Do not, under any circumstances, miss it. * The Bookbag *
Gorgeous writing combines with a hauntingly bleak near-future setting, a whiff of holiday magic, and a transcendent story arc to make this novel feel like the classic it deserves to become. -- Kirkus, Starred Review * Kirkus *
