Review:

‘Funny, feisty, sexy and tender.’ Esther Freud

‘Intelligent, funny and tough, Evangeline even manages to pull off the remarkable feat of making all those Victorian virtues that one acquires in the course of single parenthood – patience, endurance, self-denial – sound positively sexy.’ Jane Shilling, The Times

‘Blends a promiscuous mix of single motherhood, belly dancing, psychotic boyfriends and motorbikes into a stylishly literate thriller.’ Marie Claire

‘You will keep coming back to this book when you should be doing something else.’ Louis de Bernieres

‘Exciting, compelling and tense.’ Time Out

‘Funny and scary...with a memorable David Lynch-style take on Shepherd’s Bush. In writing honestly and unsentimentally, Young celebrates the unequivocal nature of parental love with verve and style.’ Julie Myerson, Mail on Sunday

From the Author:

author of babylove admits absurdity, denies silliness
Thank you, the readers who gave babylove five crowns. Thank you too the person who thinks it is silly - as an author, you never get an honest comment to your face, most people being at best civil, at worst grovelly. But Angeline is not me (I've never bellydanced or met a psychopath); women do ride and love motorbikes (I did for years). And there are plenty of blonde bellydancers (neither blondeness nor bellydancing are ridiculous in themselves, are they?) - the Middle East is full of them, because as a profession for a woman such dancing is considered disreputable by many moslems...
