'Toksvig's warm characterisation drives the narrative, especially when set against her droll yet richly detailed evocation of an unedifying period of modern history ... Toksvig's shining creation, Valentine Grey, [is] a courageous and captivating character ... begging for a sequel' -- Lucy Beresford Sunday Telegraph
'Teasing out untold stories of the battlefield and of gay history ... follows in the footsteps of the likes of Sarah Waters and Pat Barker ... Toksvig's seemingly effortless ability to entertain shines through' -- Lucy Scholes Independent
