This is an ingenious wonderful book.' -- Scotland on Sunday 'An exquisitely wayward work of art and outright comic masterpiece...Charming, chilling, sinister, surreal and utterly unforgettable.' -- The Scotsman 'Woman's World is dazzling.' -- Alexander Masters - London Evening Standard 'As mad and believable as a dream' -- Joanna Lumley
