Reviews

An engaging debut that throws light on a hidden side of Paris.
*Woman & Home*

Confident and brilliant
*Lisa O'Donnell*

This book played into my acute nosiness, throwing open the doors to the fictional lives of the residents of number 37 . . . It'll open your heart and your mind. It certainly did mine.
*The Pool*

A multi-layered novel, elevated by fine writing, in which our traditional view of Paris is debunked to show a less familiar side of the city. Cooper's expertly realised characters, both sympathetic and not, have stories that are interwoven with aplomb.
*Daily Mail*

Cooper has written a Ship of Fools for today, bringing forth the poetry and pathos of ordinary lives.
*The Lady*

The Paris of this skillful yet tender debut novel is not the Paris of our Eurostar mini breaks.
*Red Online*

Cooper's characters are what make this novel so readable.
*The Herald*

The writing tantalizingly evokes the sights and sounds of Paris while also giving us an eye-opening perspective of a side of the city that we don't know much about. It is a nuanced portrayal of relationships and the whole spectrum of human emotions.
*Book Riot*

This beautifully written debut is about love and loss.
*Prima*

Timely and thoughtful, it's perhaps one of the first novels to reflect back the state of our current society.
*The Idle Woman blog*

I absolutely loved this book and I can't wait to read more from the author who I'm sure has a glittering career ahead of her.
*What Cathy Read Next*

The writing is exquisite and discursive.
*Isobel Blackthorn*

An erudite and engaging read
*Bookliterati*

Cooper's writing is exceptional. ... It's a beautifully crafted novel.
*Book and Brew*

An enchanting and beautifully written debut
*Jo's Book Blog*

It's the voices of various neighbours in their apartment block that make this novel special.
*AnOther Magazine*

In a Paris tense with summer heat, anger and hate drive its people to drastic action, in this intensely satisfying and timely novel of a city in crisis.
*Aileen Smyth, Dubray Rathmines*

A resplendent debut which combines a gracefully multi-layered narrative with insightful social commentary.
*Wales Arts Review*
