A novel both delicate and strong, illuminating the disturbing and the extraordinary to be found in the every day. Sunday is a beguiling and beguiled narrator, and her story an examination of the disjunction between humans' private and public selves. I loved it - Maggie O'Farrell
Lloyd Barlow makes her wary, vigilant, poetic voice the star in a mesmerising debut - Guardian
Lloyd-Barlow's prose sings... a beautiful, bittersweet debut - Daily Telegraph
What a glorious, unforgettable character Vita is. And I loved Sunday's voice too, so unique, right from the off. It showed me things about autism that will stay with me. A genuinely valuable book, but more importantly I enjoyed being inside its world - Melissa Harrison, author of All Among the Barley
A memorably authentic, at times painfully affecting, portrait of a singular woman navigating life's challenges and still finding her way to happiness on her own terms - Daily Mail
Lyrical and poetic, Lloyd-Barlow's exquisite debut revolves around the ordered and reserved Sunday Forrester and her daughter Dolly as two disarming strangers enter their lives with sinister intent.
