Just wanted to say how very much I enjoyed this novel! I was on holiday last week and read it cover to cover and can truthfully say that it really spoke to me. I think it will have especial appeal to readers like me who are the same age as the characters in the book - such evocative writing and university and post-university life so very well described. Well done!

I really enjoyed the book, read it over the hols. It kept me up late a few nights,
just kept reading "one more chapter"! We have a waiting list for it now, so obviously the publicity had an effect. Look forward to the next one!

I've just read and enjoyed "Eight of Cups", Mirren. Congratulations to you (both!) on your first novel. It was prominently placed in our local library as part of a display called "Local Heroes" - along with books by Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Christopher Rush etc, so I hope that will bring it to the attention of lots of readers.

A thoroughly good read. As a 50 something myself, albeit a male one, I could identify with description of the phases of a life from youth through parenthood to grey hair and a few aches and pains. The whole book was a solid reminder that life is best lived realistically, rather than viewed through the distorting mirrors of "should" and "ought".
