My own preference is for the more everyday stories, The Girl and The Lover, but in all of them is the depiction of ordinary people that makes the stories gripping, whether they are dancing their waltz in the dark wood of historical events, or in a dystopian future, or just in emotions and circumstances of their own making.’ (Southbourne Library Reading Group) ‘I liked these stories in particular, as they had powerful female characters. The author demonstrated extensive research, as evidenced in his reference to specific points in history, or interesting facts relating to a historical figure. I really enjoyed reading this lovely book, and would definitely read more from this author.’ (Southbourne Library Reading Group) ‘Had me enthralled from start to finish.’ (Helen Summer) Author InformationAuthor Website: http://www.adamdickson.co.ukAdam Dickson is a novelist and screenwriter.
