Review:

Praise for ‘Three Girls and their Brother’:

‘Coming from an already highly-acclaimed screenwriter, Rebeck knows how to spin a good yarn’
Daily Mirror

‘Both dark and comic’
Publishing News

‘Rebeck shines...her insiders look at the theatre world is spot on and uproarious...crackling satire and scene stealing secondaries carry the book’
US Publishers Weekly

‘Playwright Rebeck’s first novel is a wickedly enjoyable expos� of modern celebrity...Rebeck’s dramatic skills are evident in the youthful, often profane voices...A timely and entertaining modern morality tale.’
Kirkus

‘“Three Girls and their Brother” is a brilliant fiction debut. Rebeck weaves such an atmosphere of excitement and turmoil. I felt genuinely close to these characters – all three sisters and their brother. The insider’s look at the life of young models and the way instant success can upend everything resonates in hilarious and heart-breaking ways. I found it impossible to put this book down.”
Carol Goodman, Author of ‘The Lake of Dead Languages’

Praise for Theresa Rebeck:
