Praise for this book
"The perfect book - I loved it! There was plenty to amuse me and distract my anxious brain and it took me to a lovely safe place. I had to abandon the book I was reading (desperately sad, no good at all) so when I saw this on my desk it was a joyous moment! Thank you so much for writing such an entertaining and intelligent book. It saved me!" - Katie Fforde
