Praise for The Judas Tree: ‘That rare thing – a gripping page-turner that’s also emotionally intelligent and very moving. I gulped it down’ Tammy Cohen, author of The Wedding Party‘Astonishingly good and utterly haunting’ Oxford Times‘A beautifully crafted tale. Emotional, dark and so very compelling’ Cesca Major, author of Maybe Next Time‘AMAZING. Real and disturbing and brilliant, and so beautifully written. The kind of book you want to TALK about’ Iona Grey, author of The Glittering Hour‘I LOVED it’ Miranda Dickinson, bestselling author of The Start of Something‘A beautiful, sharply written novel about how we carry the past with us’ Louise Beech, author of Nothing Else‘A compelling, moving and captivating book that had me hooked from the first page . . . At the core of the book is the profound impact that trauma, experienced at a young age, can have on the rest of a person’s life, and the lives of those who love that person’ Louise Douglas, bestselling author of The Room in the Attic‘A powerful story about the shadowlands that can connect people with long-held secrets. What I particularly loved when reading it was the constant interplay between menace and damage: the menace posed by others and the damage Jennings’s gritty and deftly drawn characters actually do to themselves. A really great read’ Claire Dyer, author of The Significant Others of Odie May
