Readers love Small Things Like These:

‘Gripping and very moving and thought-provoking … brilliantly done, but also softly and slowly. You’ll never regret reading this book, but it will haunt you for ever after.’

‘I haven’t loved a book for so long. This has changed it. Every word counted. Moral, heartfelt & a beautiful read.’

‘This is a beautifully written story, both simple and profound. Set at Christmas, it is, in essence, an exploration of the best and the worst of what it is to be human. A stunning achievement.’

‘A remarkable novel – short, succinct, moving. I read it in one sitting early on a Sunday morning before anybody else was up.’

‘This book needs to sit and settle with the reader after it’s read. Much lies here within what seems a simple tale. It strikes to the heart.’
