  Got stuck into the book today (travelling to work) and it reignited SOO many memories of the theatre I know....the smells, the carpet, the dodgy steps, the overused glass mugs, the instant coffee, the stocks of props/furniture/fabrics, the jokes... Awesome work. It really took me on a trip back in time to how the theatre used to be! Cool yet spooky to be reading a book set in a place I know so well. The pace kept up nicely and I loved the romance with Jack. Can we have a Jessica for our theatre, please? She’s such a handy person to have around!

  These are beautifully-crafted stories by a writer with a deep understanding of human nature. The subtle interplay of characters reveals hidden currents of emotion as they explore themes of religion and conflict. The stories of each of the 3 characters are quiet and thoughtful gems.

  Wow, this is a great read. A strong story and very well-presented. It's a wide-ranging historical yarn with lots of action, well-described so it that makes you feel like you're right there. You really want to follow the characters to find out what happens to them - and plenty does. Lots of interesting glimpses into the life and times of the period, well wrapped in a story that will satisfy the most demanding armchair adventurer. Recommended.

  Wow. I just finished reading this after buying it last night - I was late to bed, and had to stop reading several times this morning to get dry hankies and a stiff coffee! This is a powerfully written story of seven lives intertwined, and the effect that the London Underground bombings had on them. It's a challenging feat to handle an ensemble cast like this, but the author presents each character's viewpoint in a clear and compelling way so that the threads are easy to follow from scene to scene. The book starts off in such an ordinary way, describing the normal ups and downs of the characters' lives, that the sudden explosions and shattering violence are even more dramatic. The descriptions are so real that I assume the author must have done some intensive research to depict the conditions so vividly. The long-term damage to the victims is sympathetically portrayed, and their reactions always have a ring of truth. I found the end just a little sudden, but then I'd been expecting more because of the page count, when the last couple of pages are taken up by a bonus short story. Can't complain about that! This book will live with me for a long time and I'm already looking forward to reading it again. Might just have to find a new box of tissues though!
