Publisher Review

'Thronging with incident, wonder and outre language... sharply funny, whimsical and innovative' * The Guardian * 'Captivating... rendered with an appealing frankness, precision and emotional acuity' * Observer * 'Beguiling... you can't quite get the voice out of your head' * Daily Mail * 'Gloriously offbeat... Winman's narrative voice is beautifully true, with a child's unsentimental clarity. A superb debut' * The Times *
