Reviews
- ‘Where Bakers are Heroes.’ Pamila Payne, Mash Magazine, February 2000.
- “...filled with beautiful imagery and effortless poetry...”
- Pat Belford, 2002.
- “...filled with touching moments and humorous anecdotes, but on the whole feels incomplete.”
- Julian, TangMonkey, 2004
- “Other than the plotty ending, which lacks the subtleties of flavour built up throughout the rest of the book, In the Skin of a Lion is a wonderful read.”
