A writer writing about writers writing. What more could a reader, a book reviewer, a tentative writer and lover of words want from a book? Not forgetting the setting – England, early 1900s, clear class divisions and social expectations – and the characters – fascinating, colourful, and above all, real. This book has everything I look for in a story.

Treger writes with a steady hand. Her prose is marvellous, and she slowly trickles information into the readers’ hungry mouth, a style I very much enjoy. I love leaping into a story, feeling as if I’ve arrived late to a party, and slowly uncovering the mystery, peeling away the layer of the characters, their circumstances, their emotions. This is very much the set-up in ''The Lodger'', and so this is one of the reasons this book is precisely my cup of tea. A triumphant debut.
