Reviews

Praise for Gingerbread:
‘Gingerbread is a novel of perfect balance, where past reaches into present, cruel history into fable, and the land itself, the forests of old, into vulnerable human hearts. With each turn of the page the atmosphere intensifies…’ ALI SHAW, author of The Girl With Glass Feet
Praise for Little Exiles:
‘A superb novel’ DAILY MAIL
‘A heartbreaking story, very powerfully dramatised’ THE TIMES
‘LITTLE EXILES … it's knockout – Robert has his own unique voice and his own angle on an extraordinary period of history. It's just beautifully written and told with such emotional precision, with a character in Jon Heather who is completely beguiling and so worth fighting for. I really, really loved it. If I hadn't made Oranges and Sunshine I would definitely be thinking about its potential for screen' Jim Loach, Director of Oranges & Sunshine
