“There are writers and then there are writers. Most of us can only dream of becoming the kind of writer Jacqui L’Ange already is, and the stunning The Seed Thief is only her debut novel.”
I have been blessed with wonderful reviews, but none has warmed my heart as much as this one, by Karina Szczurek. She even took stylish pictures of my book in suitable settings. Beyond honoured!
(The review orinally appeared on LitNet, but I prefer the version on Karina’s own blog, not least because of the gorgeous pictures.)
