Product Description
When is love wrong? When it's a secret? When it's a lie? When it's illegal? What if the one person you wanted was the one you could never have? Would that stop you? A past that can never be forgiven. A passion that cannot be denied. A love that will destroy everything... Tracey Sinclair is a Newcastle-born writer currently based in London. She has written non-fiction for a number of publications and websites and her short stories have been published in magazines as diverse as Pulp Net, Printer's Devil and Woman's Weekly, although her mother is only allowed to read the latter. She has also had work included in two anthologies (Northern Arc and The Blue Room) and performed on local radio. Doll is her first novel.

Twisted Sister,
By A Customer
This review is from: Doll (Paperback)
I found this novel to be extremely compulsive, like secretly reading the diary of a completely unhinged Bridget Jones. All of the relationships in the novel are slightly uneasy and it is difficult to second guess how in fact they will be resolved, if indeed they can be. I amazingly hoped that the central relationship might just work despite the opening note of doom, a tribute to the skill of the author's writing style and her humour. The author manages to present the protagonist as sympathetic and almost endearing despite her manipulations and that is no mean feat! I would definitely recommend.

Doll by Tracey Sinclair,
This review is from: Doll (Paperback)
Imiginative, innovative, immediate. This book deals with subjects often avoided or swept under the carpet in real life. It addresses them head on, takes no prisoners and forces the reader to travel to places and situations that would normally count as no-go areas emotionally. The result is one of discovery and complexity and a feeling of having experienced some of the more difficult and demanding areas of human experience.

A stunning debut,
This review is from: Doll (Paperback)
In a world where young novelists rely upon stylistic and typographic trickery to make their mark (stand up David Eggers) Tracey Sinclair's first novel rejects these in favour of unsettling honesty, clarity and precision. Written with a lack of sentimentally, the novel is something of a chamber piece in the way it mines depths of emotion and motivation rather than narrative sweep. It is not just an exploration of taboo subjects but is also a study of grief. From a slow beginning it gathers momentum, rushing headlong, with the delirium of an illicit thrill, towards an ending you just know isn't going to be pretty. Thea is an anti-heroine, at once self-loathing and occasionally unsympathetic but also vulnerably, recognisably human. This book resonates long after the shock of its content has passed. What a debut!
