"Her writing at its best, creating characters and a story which, once read, will not easily go away" -- Nick Tucker * Independent *
"Blackman grapples with contemporary issues without ever letting them overwhelm the story and characterisation. A winner" -- Suzi Feay * Financial Times *
"This is an adroit investigation of family relations, very clearly portrayed" -- Toby Clements * Daily Telegraph *
