Review:

'[Her work has] both evoked and matched in achievement - such masters as William Trevor.' - Barry Forshaw 'A tense and beautifully told tale.' - The Scots Magazine 'A thoughtful, multi-layered novel... it cannot fail to set the reader thinking about the plight of those who go missing each year, the basic human need to survive and adapt, and the metaphorical bridges that divide and connect us and what can be done to cross them.' - The Daily Mail
