Praise for The Secret Life of Daisy Fitzjohn
-
This book has echoes of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and in many ways, although clearly aimed at the teenage market, is as compelling as an adult read. Written in a simple, almost matter-of-fact style which fits the subject matter very well and with a satisfying ending, it's a very believable story and an excellent debut for Tania Unsworth. - WE LOVE THIS BOOK on The One Safe PlaceWonderfully original, a little sinister, this debut is a cracker - The Sun on The One Safe Place... an unputdownable read that had me gripped from the opening scene, and ultimately left me feeling grateful that this dystopia is a fictional one - THE BOOKBAG on The One Safe Place
