'Undoubtedly her best yet – single mum, feisty daughter, jaunty style – but there is a darker thread running through it.'
The Sunday Telegraph
A powerful novel about two sisters living in a very dysfunctional household with their tattoo-crazy mum, who is struggling to cope.
Dolphin adores her mother, Marigold. She's got wonderful clothes, bright hair and vivid tattoos all over her body – a colourful lady, to match her colourful life. But Dolphin's older sister, Star, is beginning to wonder if living with Marigold's fiery, unpredictable moods is the best thing for the girls.
'More than lives up the expectations of the many readers eagerly waiting for her new book ... disturbingly perceptive and provocative.'
The Guardian
'Darker, shocking in its exposure of the vulnerability of streetwise kids who have to seem tough, luridly well-written yet curiously as sentimental as Dickens.'
The Financial Times
'A book that children will respond to and be empowered by ... A powerfully portrayed, sometimes shocking but ultimately uplifting story, this is a book not to be missed.'
The Bookseller
'Wilson is doing something important and rare. Not content to stand still, she's widening and deepening the scope of her work while maintaining its central hold on her readers. She's so good, it's exhilarating.'
The Guardian
