"Heart-rending but perfectly pitched … life-affirming" – The Guardian
""Funny, scatological, terrifying, heartwarming and heartbreaking" – Sunday Times
“Never have three sparsely written novellas packed such an emotional punch. Not a word is wasted and, for me, they are the absolute definition of the word ‘classic’” – Phil Earle, Guardian
