"Glorious. I loved every line of this book." -PAULA HAWKINS, author of The Girl on the Train
"At the crooked heart of this lovely novel is an odd-couple relationship reminiscent in tone, if not in substance, of Moses and Addie in the film Paper Moon, between an odd, clever, lonely boy, and a dodgy, desperate woman. Their reliance on each other is credible, touching, and funny." -NICK HORNBY, author of High Fidelity and About a Boy
"I loved this book. Lissa Evans is a wonderful writer; Vee and Noel are utter originals, and their journey made me laugh and cry." -JOJO MOYES, author of Me Before You
"In conjuring a vivid portrait of two lost souls-Vera Sedge, a petty criminal, and Noel Bostock, an orphan and boy genius-who find an unlikely kinship amid the privation of wartime London, Evans has written a sensitive. intelligent novel that revises Sartre's old axiom: Home is other people." BORIS FISHMAN, author of A Replacement Life
"With not a single combatant and only a few bombs, Lissa Evans has written a wonderful novel about the Second World War. Her two main characters are utterly irresistible, as is their unlikely alliance:
I was cheering them on with every page."
-MARGOT LIVESEY, author of The Flight of Gemma Hardy
