"may emerge as one of the great, eccentric London novels"
Times Literary Supplement
"the debut of a distinctive voice in contemporary British fiction"
Joe Moran, author and Guardian journalist
"reminiscent of Holden Caulfield's voice in J.D.Salinger's Catcher in the Rye..."
Emma Rae, Planet Magazine
"Jayne Joso, who has lived and worked in Japan, is well placed to note the vagaries of mixed-up, mixed-race Britain."
Ian Thomson
