" 'Absolutely dazzling' Marian Keyes 'On every page there are little shimmering bombs' Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women 'Quietly devastating . Reminded me repeatedly of Shuggie Bain ' Observer AN OBSERVER , GRAZIA, IRISH TIMES AND IRISH INDEPENDENT HIGHLIGHT FOR 2021 Being Tommy's mother is too much for Sonya. Too much love, too much fear, too much longing for the cool wine she gulps from the bottle each night. Because Sonya is burning the fish fingers, and driving too fast, and swimming too far from the shore, and Tommy's life is in her hands. Once there was the thrill of a London stage, a glowing acting career, fast cars, handsome men. But now there are blackouts and bare cupboards, and her estranged father showing up uninvited. There is Mrs O'Malley spying from across the road. There is the risk of losing Tommy – forever."

Rezension(1): "Times Literary Supplement:A heady mixture of heartbreak (I swallow, I soothe, I sleep) and hope, that the cycle will break: tomorrow –" Rezension(2): "Sunday Independent:[Harding's] writing is taut, and there is such an intensity, an urgency about the narrative that you find yourself turning the pages as if you fear Sonya might race out of sight . A contemporary, zeitgeisty read and very satisfying" Rezension(3): "Irish Independent:The novel . has the feel of a monologue, held together by Sonya's mesmerising voice, a glorious mix of barely-held-together sanity and unbridled honesty ... Sonya is a beautifully realised character"
