Shaw's writing is lovely: elegant, subtle and haunting * The Times *
Powerfully exposes the wrenches of prejudice . . . A tender and unlikely page-turner * Financial Times *
This book-club read has echoes of Revolutionary Road. Delicate, but feistily written * Elle Magazine *
It gripped me like a vice, and I stopped doing anything else to get to the end and find out what was going to happen * Andrew Davies *
