Some early reviews from book bloggers and Amazon reviewers are already coming in for Bitter Orange (published in the UK on 2nd August, and in the US and Canada on October 9th). And I’m pleased to say the vast majority are very positive. But one that I’m especially delighted about is a starred review from Kirkus.
Kirkus is an American book review magazine which is notoriously rigorous. It reviews more than 8000 books each year, and only about 10% of these are given a star accolade.
Due to copyright restrictions, I’m not able to post the review on my website, but you can read it here.
So well deserved. I LOVED Bitter Orange.

I read the review and found it upbeat with a enthusiastic tone – “”An intoxicating, unsettling masterpiece.””
Look forward to seeing your book in August.

Excellent review. The comparison with “The Haunting of Hill House” has me hooked!

I know, I’m very flattered by that. Shirley Jackson is one of my favourite authors.

Mine, too! I treasure a copy of her book, “Come Along With Me,” that I found at a library’s used book sale, containing stories and several lectures.
