'In the blizzard of 'chick lit' of the past decade, Tania Kindersley stands out. Thoughtful, honest, and prepared to chart the pain of emotions among the young and gay - rather than just their appetite for self-doubt or loathing - her first three novels were among the best of the genre. But now, with her fourth, Kindersley has finally come of age. Nothing to Lose is the work of a novelist of stature rather than a member of a publishing phenomenon. Maude Strong, who killed a child in a road accident ten years ago has not recovered. Maude's return from the living dead is the backbone of Kindersley's beautiful and moving novel. It gives us a female heroine as frail and yet still capable of love as the second Mrs De Winter in Rebecca, and the comparison is entirely apt.' -- Mail 20020503 'Establishes her as a writer mature enough to deal with death and the terror of corrosive guilt...Well written and intelligent, this is a hugely impressive book' -- Marie Claire 20020503 that rare beast, a well-written love story for grown-ups ...
