Recenzii
A compelling drama, full of subtle observation and wry humour
'I loved it ... It's a novel very much of its time and that's what drew me to it so closely - if someone who understands doesn't write about Lily and those like her how will their voice ever be heard? And that's why I love contemporary fiction of this calibre - it tells me how it is'
Margaret Forster
A cracking page-turner of a novel, written with consummate skill and feeling. This wholly contemporary story of love and survival in the city is free of cliché and full of surprises
'This is an enjoyable novel; its brisk prose infused by Dawson's warmth and sympathy for her well-observed characters'
Edward Platt in the Sunday Times
Lily walks between loneliness and defiance, wretchedness and quiet triumph; it's a delicate line and Jill Dawson achieves it with style, humour and honesty
'A cracking page-turner of a novel, written with consumate skill and feeling. This wholly contemporary story of love and survival in the city is free of cliche and full of surprises''
Judy Cooke in the Mail on Sunday
A beautifully evocative novel about loneliness, friendship and love. Seldom has inner-city London been depicted with such passion, and peopled with such a disparate array of characters, all of whom remain totally convincing and linger in the memory long after the final page
'A compelling drama, full of subtle observation and wry humour, which engages the reader's symapthies. One of the reasons for the book's success is its likeable central character, another is the truthfulness and sensitivity with which it depicts ordinary life'
Christina Koning in The Times
'Lily walks between loneliness and defiance, wretchedness and quiet triumph; it's a delicate line and Lily's creator Jill Dawson achieves it with style, humour and honesty'
Roddy Doyle
One of the reasons for the book's success is its likeable central character, another is the truthfulness and sensitivity with which it depicts ordinary life
[A] gem of a novel ... compelling, honest and unputdownable
'A beautifully evocative novel about loneliness, friendship and love'
Caryl Phillips
'This observational drama cleverly keeps you guessing throughout.'
