One way has been well received by my small but discerning band of readers. Here is a selection of comments (biased towards the favourable ones, obviously).
OK, only one publication so far: H&E magazine August 2016. Bear in mind their particular slant on the world when you read it:
4·75★s from 4 reviews [see all]
“I … felt that the writing allowed me to understand what drives a person to leave their lives behind and take a step into the unknown. The way the characters’ relationships develop manages to be surprising at times without ever tipping over in to the unbelievable”
“The characters have stayed with me”
5·0★s from 8 reviews [see all]
“I was hooked from the beginning and was gripped by the storyline”
“An altogether believable tale of four people’s search for a new way of life. A book of two halves which deals with the ordinary preparations for an extraordinary journey and the sexual pressure cooker of starting a life with no taboos. The conclusion brings both shock and sadness”
“This is a gloriously engaging and human book about extraordinary lives”
“The writing is laugh out loud funny as well as deeply and richly colourful and evocative”
“Well written, strong characters … and a nice turn of phrase that I enjoyed. And what an ending!”
“Moves at pace and is believable and emotionally engaging”
“Gripping, emotional, sexy and fun”

Thanks to everyone who took the time to leave a review. It makes a big difference. Thanks too to anyone who bought the book and hated it, but is too kind to put it in writing – µ
