Recensioner i media

"Colourful, funny, joyful and compelling" Observer "There's little doubt that this young writer is going to be a star... In the course of this picaresque and haunting tale, Hudson achieves something rare and remarkable. While comparison will inevitably be made between her work and that of Irvine Welsh or Alan Warner, she is wholly individual" -- Rosemary Goring Herald Scotland "Kerry Hudson's fine, eloquent debut novel traces the peripatetic childhood of Janie Ryan...her tale is full of warmth and bittersweet humour" Financial Times "Real and heartfelt... Hudson avoids the usual sentimental cliches and gives us, without a shred of hipster cynicism, the hope and tough warmth for which she has such a sharp eye" -- Jenn Ashworth Guardian "A gritty, tough, sweet , sad, funny story of urban survival. Recommended" Diva
