Report

A thoroughly modern thriller, in which the characters are drawn with psychological acuity, and Alice's uncertain relationship with her father forms one of the most intriguing narrative threads. And as with Howell's previous books, our plucky heroine endears herself to the modern reader by riding roughshod over gender stereotypes. Daily Telegraph
