I loved it...I thought it was wonderfully blackly comic in that uniquely English way...interlaced with an understanding of how fragile modern relationships can be -- Isla Dewar author of * Giving Up on the Ordinary * 'Painting Ruby Tuesday is indeed a comic novel, but one which is elevated by the music which flows through it, and the unusual and original descriptions' * The Scotsman * 'Highly original...told with humour and poignancy by a hugely likeable heroine...An entertaining and compelling read filled with rounded, memorable characters, and both darkly funny and moving' * Time Out * 'A compelling read' * Company * 'Bright, engaging and very funny' * Guardian *
