Praise for Lesley Pearse

Storytelling at its very best

Evocative, compelling, told from the heart

Glorious, heartwarming

Intriguing, heart-tugging, beautifully written

Ridker's debut is at once humorous and poignant.

Eloquent… style and smooth pacing.

Comedy ahoy!

Ridker handles the tussle between parent and children with humour and psychological insight… He is a sure comic talent, witty and engaged, and alive to the legion of competing and irreconcilable roles from which the individual today must self-consciously choose.
