Big-hearted and poignant, Paper Cup is a joyous read -- SARA SHERIDAN Praise for Karen Campbell: I am in awe of Karen Campbell's writing . . . Brilliant, unputdownable storytelling -- MEL GIEDROYC A true literary talent * * Scotsman * * A literary force to be reckoned with * * Daily Record * * Bold, gritty and fearless * * Sunday Times on This Is Where I Am * * Generous-spirited, big-hearted * * Daily Mail on This Is Where I Am * * Rich and thoroughly enjoyable . . . A work of considerable complexity with a powerful narrative drive. [Campbell] has the ability, rarer in fiction today than it used to be, to make you care about her characters. This is an ambitious novel, and one of rare scope and understanding -- Allan Massie * * Scotsman on The Sound of the Hours * * I loved it . . . The plot fairly whizzes along and Karen Campbell has a great way with images. I look forward to the next one -- KATE ATKINSON on The Twilight Time Engrossing, entertaining and thoroughly readable . . . It is a page-turner but Campbell also demonstrates her acute eye for detail and for profound observation in just a phrase or a sentence -- JAMES ROBERTSON on Rise
