‘A bawdy, romping affair … Delaney mixes up genres — historical
fiction, erotica, magic realism — to create something original’
- Book of the Month in The Times, November 2016 ‘An irresistible
erotic fairytale for adults’
– The Guardian ‘With elements of magical realism, plenty of sexy
scenes, and a good dollop of drama, this is one hell of a read’
- The Sun ‘A saucy bodice-ripper that combines magical realist
flights of fancy with a smattering of punchy feminist politics’
– The Metro ‘A compelling mix of bawdy romp and magical
realism.’
- Red ‘A fun, explicit romp with real stakes that will have you
trying to finish this book in one sitting’
- Stylist ‘An Almond for a Parrot romps and twists like the Fairy
House girls in their bed chambers. It’s full of lust and magic, but
not without heart. It’s an irresistible world to drop into.’
