Joanna Briscoe

You
(Bloomsbury, July 2011)

'An excellent eye ....pinpoint precision…. mercilessly accurate. ….Briscoe is brilliant at conveying the obsessiveness of teenage love, ratcheting up the tension until the reader is every bit as involved as the character, analysing each tiny gesture for any more profound meaning….a lushly evocative writer . ….beguilingly good.'
