Media Reviews
'A harvest festival of sensuous detail, intimate, rich... compulsively readable' -- Daily Telegraph 'So touched with magic, so achingly sad and funny that my breath was taken away... Wonderful' -- The Times 'Mackay moved this reader to ears, not from grief, but from joy. Now there's a skill' -- Fay Weldon, Mail on Sunday From the Trade Paperback edition.
