Review
A gentle, charming account of a family of cosmopolitan sophistication living in a rural shambles ... What emerges at the end ... is an enormous sense of privilege in growing up among such vibrant, affectionate characters (Evening Standard)
The whole is suffused with love. To write well and with such open-hearted affection is an achievement (Observer)
A funny, though sometimes melancholy, story of irresponsible and drunken bohemianism ... A clever and touching debut (Guardian)
I love Raffaella Barker's books - so funny and acerbic (Maggie O’Farrell)
[A] highly assured beginning ... She writes beautifully ... combining, with apparent ease, emotion and admirable precision (Independent on Sunday)
Book Description
The classic story of a chaotic, creative family
