This is a wonderful, rich novel, written with lyricism, drama and power. Tackling issues of loss, love, and healing, and filled with the sense of a universe bursting with music, it is unputdownable from the first page to the last.

It's very rare to find a book that moves the heart, touches the spirit and yet remains so well grounded in everyday life. It'll stick to your fingers, this one - don't miss it.

Lyrical and emotionally charged - on full throttle

A memorable book.

A hard one to put down . . . one of the truly individual voices in British teenage fiction.

Compelling and suspenseful

An intensely moving and powerful story.
