Media Reviews
"Genuinely funny and deeply poignant" - Daily Express; "Edge wears his Hopkins learning lightly, sprinkling the book with snippets while avoiding didacticism or handholding... it's a merry page-turner" - The Spectator; "A comedy with a touching emphasis on the importance of truth in human relationships." - The Tablet; "A witty satire... By turns gripping and laugh-out-loud funny" - Press and Journal; "Hugely entertaining... Edge's excoriating analysis is an utter delight" - WI Life
