To Heaven by Water Reviews

'Perceptive and frequently moving' The Times 'A high-class piece of literary entertainment' Spectator 'What distinguishes To Heaven by Water and turns it into a convincing take on the English (or rather London) early twenty-first century is the eye for detail and the sheer brio of the writing' Independent 'Cartwright's books are literary icebergs with more concealed than shown, which keep on working long after the turn of the final page' Daily Mail
