The characterisation and dialogue make it easy to feel empathy for the family and readers will cheer Milo on to achieve his goal Sun

[An] understated and likeable tale that just might restore your faith in human nature Bella

Deals with serious themes including family life and the treatment of the elderly in society. The novel addresses these issues with sensitivity and good humour reminiscent of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Irish Tatler
