Reviews / Votes
A wonderful book. Salley Vickers spins a spellbinding account of a family in distress -- Elizabeth Strout on 'Cousins' Utterly compelling... Cousins is a remarkable book about the strange tact and terrors of family life and the histories that haunt it -- Adam Phillips on 'Cousins' Each distinct voice in this complex pattern of relationships is presented with deep empathy and clarity, so that you feel a real three-dimensional quality in the characters. The most painful ethical dilemmas are laid out with compassion and without manipulation. A serious, mature book that is also compellingly enjoyable -- Rowan Williams on 'Cousins' No one can dig down into the shrouded recesses of the human heart quite as forensically as Vickers * Sunday Times * Salley Vickers sees with a clear eye and writes with a light hand. She's a presence worth cherishing -- Philip Pullman on 'The Cleaner of Chartres'More details
