Review
'Youngblood deals admirably with the symbolism of the city while letting her heroine, Eden, get on with her own journey. Angelou and Walker have laid the trail for this kind of feel-good odyssey but Youngblood gets you behind Eden all the way' Guardian; 'Youngblood is one of those incredibly gifted writers whose lyricism and conviction make her a must-read' New Nation; 'The handy "Rules for Living" and tips on au pairing ("Don't kill the dog") are comic standouts...' The Times; 'Shay Youngblood has a luminously poetic quality aligned with the power of the shape-shifter...mesmerising' Bonnie Greer
