Warm , moving and hilarious. * Evening Herald, Ireland * 'Hilarious . . . But there's death and guilt, too, in this sometimes dark, tear-jerking novel' **** * Company * 'I loved this . . . it's warm, funny and made me cry (a couple of times).

Perfect for a summer's day with not much else on since you'll want to read it in one sitting' * Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail * Move over Marian, it's Ciara . . . impressive and highly entertaining [with] one of the most authentic female characters I've read in women's fiction for a long time . . . lots of biting humour and a darker side beneath the laughs. * Irish Independent Review * Praise for SAVING GRACE * : *
