Reviews
A modern-day Brief Encounter * Daily Express *
Both lyrical and real, light and darkly full of yearnings for a profound and lifelong love * Good Housekeeping *
Barker is drawn repeatedly to the wheeling desolation of the Norfolk coast - this vivid evocation leaps off the page, as do the delightful snapshots revealing the hot-breathed collision of family life * Independent *
An insightful, highly readable novel * Daily Express *
Barker gathers confidence and power with each novel, and Poppyland is a rich, confident and emotionally convincing piece of writing * Sunday Times *
