Review:
'there are moments of transcendence here, moments where Penney's writing really excels' Sunday Times.
'a gripping yarn' Daily Telegraph.
'If her debut was a literary Western, then her new tale is something of a bookish version of a Bogart puzzler. As a film graduate, Penney's approach to prose is cinematic and inclusive' Independent on Sunday.
'...a supreme story-teller on top form' The Times.
' this is a beautifully crafted novel with skilful characterisation and a plot which twists and turns ... this story of loss, deceit and family tragedy lingers long after you've finished the book' Daily Express.
'[a] gripping novel' Glasgow Herald. "
'[Penney] may be one of the best storytellers we have at the moment' Scotsman. --Reviews.
