About the Author

Salley Vickers is the author of many novels, including Miss Garnet's Angel, The Cleaner of Chartres and Cousins. She has worked as a teacher of children with special needs, a university teacher of literature and a psychoanalyst. She now writes fulltime and divides her time between London and Wiltshire. She attributes such success as she has achieved in life to an early love of reading.

Reviews

A nostalgic treat...involving and hopeful
*Mail on Sunday*

Excellent... a period tale of sentimental education, it's deliciously readable, with a clever epilogue zooming into the present day for a last gasp surprise
*Daily Mail*

No one can dig down into the shrouded recesses of the human heart quite as forensically as Vickers
*Sunday Times*

Vickers writes of relationships with undaunted clarity
*Adam Phillips*

Quirky and charming
*Love It!*

This beautifully crafted novel is a tribute to the power of books
*S Magazine, Sunday Express*

The Librarian will wring the heart of anyone who fell in love with books as a child. It is a hymn to the power of children's literature...delightful
*The Times*

Vickers lays bare the inner workings of one family, possibly every family, with an often disconcerting clarity
*The Times on 'Cousins'*

Vickers' real skill as a story teller is in allowing each distinct voice to contribute to a complete, or as complete as can be, picture of one family... the pace gathers, making for a deeply poignant climax
*Financial Times on 'Cousins'*
