Reviews of Being Emily

"* "'An enchanting novel in which ordinary lives are illuminated with extraordinary charm.'" – DAILY TELEGRAPH on Buddha Da * "'A delightfully deadpan look at what happens when one family member decides that he's unlocked the secrets of the universe.'" – INDEPENDENT * "'Her deliciously corkscrewed tale flows with the sap of everyday life.'" – SUNDAY TIMES * "'Donovan's novel is an accomplished family drama which is quirky and endearing. Don't wait until your next life to read it.'" – SUNDAY HERALD"
