OZ by Bobbie Darbyshire
Mark Jonnson's life is a mess. He's been cheating on his wife, fears his marriage is over, but can't bear to leave his boisterous 7-year-old daughter, Matilda. Just when he thinks things can't get worse, his mother is killed in a road accident. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
Another gripping read from the author of Truth Games and Love, Revenge & Buttered Scones
What a delight to find a novel that's both a page-turner and a nuanced exploration of characters. The tensions and subtleties of relationships of marriage and parenting across the decades are explored with delicacy, yet the storytelling never falters, as a constantly-evolving plot keeps you hooked until the last page. Sarah Rayner, author of One Moment, One Morning
Oz touches on a tough and important subject that doesn't get enough coverage - the tremendous burden that children can be for those who don't want them or who have them at the wrong times in their lives. This is a theme that really comes out and reaches a marvellous crescendo. Chris Boyd, screenwriter
Swept me along with little to say but huge praise. I was riveted to every word. Paul Lyons, author of The Eden Man -- Publisher: Cinnamon Press
