Praise for the feel-good novel of 2017, Calling Major Tom:
A book about loneliness, about bravery, about the walls we all put
up to protect ourselves and about how it is never ever too late to
try to change.
*Katie Marsh, author of MY EVERYTHING*
A gorgeously quirky story about families, forgiveness and
unexpected friendships - sheer joy.
*Lucy Diamond, author of THE SECRETS OF HAPPINESS*
...a pure pleasure to read, full of well-observed characters and
hope, and a much-needed antidote for these worrying times.
*Julie Cohen, author of TOGETHER*
CALLING MAJOR TOM is blooming marvellous! Original, moving and
mercilessly funny, this is an unashamedly feel-good story. I
laughed, I cried and I cheered for the wonderful characters. Don't
hesitate - fall in love with this book!
*Miranda Dickinson, author of SEARCHING FOR A SILVER LINING*
Brilliant, funny, heartwarming and exactly what everyone needs
right now. I loved it.
*Rachael Lucas, author of Wildflower Bay*
A funny, moving, absorbing hot chocolate of a story - hot chocolate
with chilli, that is, because there were bits were I laughed aloud!
The pages just turned themselves - I can't wait for the next David
Barnett.
*Daniela Sacerdoti, author of CALLING YOU HOME*
A bitter-sweet, original blend of social realism and sci-fi; funny,
engaging and honest.
*Stuart Maconie*
A book about being alone and being together, being lost and being
found. One man against infinity: what are the chances? Good, as it
happens. I loved this book. One huge step for a man, no longer lost
in space.
*David Quantick*
funny, moving, sweetly life-affirming tale
