Reviews
A novella in seventy sonnets, and a page turner at that - some achievement! Aldous has given us a rare treat. An absorbing narrative of both actual and emotional journeys are given life on the page by her careful attention to setting and detail - we are conscious of being safely steered home by an assured and fluent poetic hand; Joy Howard
