By the same author:

Alison Wonderland

Only occasionally does a piece of fiction leap out and demand immediate cult status. Alison Wonderland is one.

The Times

Smith is gin-and-tonic funny.

Booklist

Being Light

Smith has a keen eye for material details, but her prose is lucid and uncluttered by heavy description. Imagine a satire on Cool Britannia made by the Coen Brothers.

Times Literary Supplement

This is a novel in which the ordinary and the unusual are constantly juxtaposed in various idiosyncratic characters… Its airy quirkiness is a delight.

The Times

A screwball comedy that really works.

The Independent

The Emily Castles Mystery Series

Helen Smith is a master story-teller.
