review 1: I bought this on Kindle soon after it was recommended to me and it was a good choice. I already had some idea of the structure, two time lines tied to real events and British television programmes, set in London and Torquay, Devon. But it does not matter if you have not lived in this country or seen the programmes, it is the characters that stand out and particularly the child's eye view of events amusing, confusing and tragic. The two time lines merge, the plot more complex than expected, but a satisfying read.
review 2: I suppose that seeing a mention of Larry Grayson in the blurb isn't really a great reason to choose a novel, but I did love Larry Grayson! This novel was likeable, but not earth-shattering. It captured the times well, but not, for me, so muc... moreh the sense of place. There was a sweetness to it that the world could do with more of. Not a romping yarn, but a nice gentle trot alongside some good people with every end firmly gathered up into a neat little twist at the end. less
