They've also got a good record of publishing debut authors and Jane Lovering is in that category. This is a good book but I suspect that there will be better to come from this author as she develops her craft and allows full rein to her glorious sense of humour. She's got a very good plot here and some characters you really warm to. It's a couple of days since I finished the book and I've been ''wondering'' about them, as though they're people that I know. There's a sensitive hand with disabilities and problems; you can understand why people hate them, but they don't diminish the characters in your eyes.
There is one character I must mention. Saskia is just about a pantomime villain – you're ready to boo as soon as the name appears and she lacks much in the way of redeeming features, but I loved her! I howled with laughter at some her put-downs an and I had a perfect picture of her in my mind's eye. More please!
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
