Review:

[An] unconventional. highly readable, often very funny and strangely touching novel. Since winning the Authors' Club Best First Novel prize with The Underground Man 1997, Mick Jackson's work has been increasingly characterised by a perceptive humanity, laced with sly wit and presented with irresistible dynamism, and this is no exception ... It's the kind of book you can't stop reading but don't want to finish.’ Sue Gaisford Financial Times

'Jackson is a superb writer with a gift for dialogue.' Paula Byrne The Times

'There are some lovely ideas in Mick Jackson's latest novel, befitting the mercurial, fretful nature of its narrator.' Eithne Farry Mail on Sunday

The psychic detective story soon becomes an engrossing one of a motherless young girl finding her way in the world and dealing with her grief.’ Antonia Charlesworth Big Issue North
