I wouldn't normally associate Nicola Barker with comic writing, but there are parts where it's impossible not to laugh out loud. It's delightful mischief-making mixed with bawdy humour. It's poignant and thought-provoking, but above all, it's brilliant.
I'd like to thank my daughter for passing this book on. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. We also have a review of Barker's [[The Cauliflower® by Nicola Barker]].
This book is a one-off but if it appeals to you then we think that you might also enjoy [[The Lost Books of the Odyssey by Zachary Mason]] and [[The Secret History of Costaguana by Juan Gabriel Vasquez]]. You might also enjoy [[That Summer at Hill Farm by Miranda France]].
