Critics Review

One of my favourite novels of recent years. Incredibly insightful, funny and poignant. - Helen Sedgwick, author of The Comet Seekers and The Growing Season

Rhona Beech- sharp-eyed, laconic-tongued, tender-hearted - is your eccentric new best friend. She makes a terrific debut in this witty, chatty, lyrical novel - Kevin MacNeil

Kate Tough’s dry wit and keen observations make this eye-catching debut about a defining moment in the life of thirty-something Rhona Beech both laugh-out-loud funny as well as poignant - Lesley Macdowell

A warm and ferociously witty story of the s*** life throws at us and how we survive it. Truth rings from every page of this assured and engrossing debut - Zoe Strachan
