Readers love Small Things Like These:
'Gripping and very moving and thought-provoking ... brilliantly done, but also softly and slowly. You'll never regret reading this book, but it will haunt you for ever after.'
'I haven't loved a book for so long. This has changed it. Every word counted. Moral, heartfelt & a beautiful read.'
'This is a beautifully written story, both simple and profound. Set at Christmas, it is, in essence, an exploration of the best and the worst of what it is to be human. A stunning achievement.'
'A remarkable novel - short, succinct, moving. I read it in one sitting early on a Sunday morning before anybody else was up.'
'This book needs to sit and settle with the reader after it's read. Much lies here within what seems a simple tale. It strikes to the heart.'
