It’s in the Margaret Atwood/The Handmaid’s Tale vein – very literary and suspenseful…Set in an altered reality – one that feels familiar and yet deeply unfamiliar, that embodies some of the dailiness of life, and yet slowly reveals itself to be a very different, much more sinister place. |

| Other text | Each page sparkles with the ebullient and sinister magic of great storytelling … An utterly magnificent achievement. |
