Lucy Winters' parents have always been there for her. Loving, gentle and kind they have given her everything she could have wished for. Now, estranged from her husband, she has moved to the country to take over their thriving auction business. The moment she begins to prepare for her first sale she knows she's made the right decision. And she dares to hope that at last she is living the life she has always dreamed of.
But then, quite suddenly, her world is thrown into turmoil. She discovers a shocking truth, one that forces her to question everything she has ever known. And it becomes frighteningly possible that the very people who should have protected her are the ones who have betrayed her in the most devastating of ways. Can she ever forgive them? Can they ever forgive themselves...?
I have greatly enjoyed the Grandville books. I think they're superbly designed, beautifully conceived, admirably written - everything about them is terrific.
—— Philip PullmanI've never come across a fictional world as fully-realised as Bryan Talbot's Grandville... It's a world you'll never tire of exploring.
—— Ian RankinBryan Talbot is the most important comic creator in Great Britain.
—— Teddy Jamieson , Herald ScotlandThese ingeniously plotted fantasies will make you bark with laughter.
—— MetroThe bastard child of Conan Doyle and Beatrix Potter, it's a gripping feast for the eyes.
—— ObserverUtterly delightful... There's a witty touch or deliciously knowing in-joke on almost every page... Beautifully rendered, throughout, the glossy gorgeousness fills your eyes.
—— The TimesI've never made a secret of my belief that Bryan Talbot is a genius... So I was always going to like Grandville Mon Amour. Even so, my passion for it took me by surprise: I can safely say that this is, by several miles, my favourite graphic novel of the last 12 months.
—— Rachel Cooke , ObserverA solid conspiracy caper with bursts of Tarantino-like mayhem... A witty romp in a vividly realised topsy-turvy world.
—— Times Literary SupplementFor over a century children have loved getting a Rupert or Beano annual as part of the season's largesse. This year a lot of grown-ups should feel similar delight when Grandville Mon Amour turns up under the tree.
—— GuardianThis ripping yarn of mystery, murder and the machinating arms tycoon Baron Krapaud of Toad Hall is both irresistibly exciting and sumptuously designed.
—— TelegraphGrandville is a favourite of ours.
—— Bleeding CoolA multi-layered book that is both wildly witty and deeply wise.
—— David Robinson , ScotsmanA tender, witty and poignant look back at a lifelong obsession with fitness.
—— Paula Hawkins , ObserverAn astonishing graphic novel/memoir whose precise drawings capture Bechdel's life-long hunt for transcendence through physical exertion.
—— Simon Kuper and Murad Ahmed , Financial Times, *Books of the Year*The biggest event of the year was the return of Alison Bechdel... Bechdel's previous books have made her one of the superstars of graphic fiction, and this funny, perceptive and merciless account shows that...her talent remains undimmed.
—— James Smart , Guardian, *Books of the Year*The Secret to Superhuman Strength... demands to be reread immediately... and does the reader far more good than a Peloton class and a cup of turmeric tea.
—— Rachel Cooke , Observer, *Books of the Year*A joyful book, a feast of colour, wit and ideas about living in ever-changing times
—— Max Liu , iNews, *Books of the Year*The brilliant cartoonist traces her own history of (sometimes obsessive) exercise in this stunning graphic memoir.
—— Bill Hayes , Reader's Digest
