Reviews
'In this carefully observed and deeply moving story about urban homelessness, Carrasco shows the daily challenge and terror of living on the streets. A powerful read - a story we should all empathise with.' Claire Fuller - author of Unsettled Ground & winner of the Costa Novel Award 2021. ; 'This harsh tale of an unnamed young woman living on the very edge of society is told so delicately and with such deftness it results in a very affecting read with a main character who lingers long after the story ends. It takes a lot of skill to be able to write a difficult subject in this way, and with moments of humour and of hope too. Luis Carrasco clearly has that skill - he is a wonderful writer.' Sharon Duggal - author of Should We Fall Behind.
