'Long in abeyance, the English rural novel flourishes again in Tim Pears' story of a 13-year-old Devon farmgirl's confrontation with sex, death and the weather... an unusually welll-made novel which, through being less English than one would expect, produces a very English kind of magic. |

It is most beautifully written, hypnotic as Proust, very funny and full of love that doesn't cloy... It is a dreamy, easy, wonderful read - and quite remarkable for a first novel. |

An engaging, well-written and original novel. Pears could write about doing the washing up and make it interesting. |

The writing is so genuine. Nothing is posturing or romanticised. The characters really touched me. There's so much talent here. |
