Review
Sharp writing and a nose for hidden sadness lift this debut well about the soap standard. (NEW STATESMAN AND SOCIETY )
The evocation of a child's anxiety and of her thankfulness for her father's reassuring presence is extremely moving. (FINANCIAL TIMES )

Product Description
Allie retired behind her pulled-down fringe and a poker face when her mother walked out leaving three children and their father in a remote house in Yorkshire. Surviving was one thing; learning how to live a little was harder.

GREAT LITTLE BOOK,
By thumper baxter (london) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poker Face (Paperback)
This is a great little one sitting read. I accidentally picked this up and got really involved. Hidden depths and far more guts than the average chick lit style book. Slightly left field with an air of Salinger.
