Media Reviews
'A strikingly original and funny novel, which hits its targets with deadly accuracy. I loved the writing and Alizia's voice The whole organisation of the book is superb a winner' Helen Dunmore 'I read this very engaging book in two sittings. The character of Alizia is really original, funny and touching. Why have I never thought of keeping our drawing room furniture suspended from the ceiling when not in use? Designs is a genuinely original piece of writing and one which I thoroughly enjoyed. I am sure the book will do well. It deserves to' Paul Torday, author of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
