Privileged to review @TheTLS Edith Holler by Edward Carey @GallicBooks Was a huge fan of his novel 'Little' which tells the story of the early life of Madame Tussaud. This new book is just as inventive, engaging, odd & powerful. He is a true original. #litfic #histfic #amreading

[Sophie Goodfellow @sophieglorita]

A tremendous month of print reviews for @EdwardCarey70’s magnificent #EdithHoller in @StrongWordsMag @GuardianBooks @ST_Culture and @MoSArtsCulture.‘Ingenious’, ‘macabre whimsy’, ‘idiosyncratic’ and ‘a richly dark fairytale for grown ups’ - and an illustrative beetle! 🪲

“It’s a bonkers book, and the fact that the cover is unexpected and unusual is very on-brand for it” - nice work @gallicbooks!
