Review
A story of terrible innocence...with openings of unexpected love and grace worthy of Graham Greene (The Independent on Sunday)
Burning Bright is a beautifully constructed and thought-provoking novel, with a freshness that makes it outstanding (Sunday Telegraph)
Helen Dunmore beautifully fulfils the highest function of a storyteller - to make you wonder what will happen next...one goes on addressing the problems of evil which Dunmore raises, long after one has finished her electrifying book (Sunday Times)
