Reviews

This wonderful tale of eccentricity follows the transformation of dreary office worker Rachel Waring when she inherits a luxorious Georgian mansion. As her hold on reality gradually loosens the neighbours are left questioning her sanity. Daily Express Let's hope this reissue cements its reputation. Glasgow Herald A disturbing book that stays in your mind. Daily Mail Joyously, seductively, ominously swept up...until the last chapter. Gloucestershire Echo
