What made me fall for 'The Things We Thought We Knew' is its quintessentially British humour, which recalls Joanna Cannon's brilliant The Trouble With Goats and Sheep or Sue Townsend and Nina Stibbe's books. It understands that the most mundane things in life are a rich source of comedy and that they often go hand in hand with every day tragedy ... something truly special and original. Read, weep and laugh." (Francesca Brown Stylist Magazine) "This intriguing debut gives a voice to the marginalised." (Big Issue) "Definitely worth squeezing into your hand luggage... one of the most brilliant summer beach reads." (Red)
