Praise for Take Her Back:
“An impressive young novelist who should be on your radar” – Mariella Frostrup, Times Radio
“Brilliantly written, so many threads running through the storyline. The author is a master of keeping everything moving along until it all comes together perfectly.”
“The Girl with the Green Eyes is wonderfully written, seamlessly flitting between two time frames, with fantastic pieces of description throughout. Highly recommended.”
