'Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable'

'Pratchett is at the peak of his power; it's hard to think of any humorist writing in Britain today who can match him'

'The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody ... who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences'

'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction'

Riveting, moving and utterly feel-good.

A beautifully woven tale of families and their secrets.

Gentle yet poignant, it's a book to settle down with and enjoy Devon.

Lovely . . . Made me long for a long hot summer by the sea with friends and family. I loved that new beginnings turn up when you least expect them.
