Reviews

Extraordinary...From the opening sentence it is gripping...Fuller writes with a singing simplicity that finds beauty amid the terror...might well have you crying out for more.
*The Sunday Times*

Fuller handles the tension masterfully in this grown-up thriller of a fairytale, full of clues, questions and intrigue.
*The Times*

Bewitching...a rivetingly dark tale...spellbinding.
*Sunday Express*

Fuller's twisted tale is compulsive, treading the fine line between charming and sinister. With its disturbing twist, Our Endless Numbered Days could well become a classic.
*Stylist, 'Book Wars'*

Rewardingly unsettling...as warped and sinister as any Brothers Grimm fairytale, this tautly written, tense novel is brilliant at evoking both the bewitching beauty of its setting - and its inherent dangers...haunting, suspenseful and deftly written...memorably chilling.
*Metro*

A debut novel that brings to mind such unlikely bedfellows as Thoreau's Walden and Emma Donoghue's Room...gripping.
*Guardian*

A remarkable first novel, I was much impressed by the conviction of the child's eye view, the vivid climate and the power of the narrative.
*Penelope Lively*

Our Endless Numbered Days is suspenseful, utterly riveting, and as dark as midnight in the forest.
*Rebecca Hunt (author of Everland and Mr Chartwell)*

Excellent...I loved the combination of Peggy/Punzel's absolutely authentic child's precision for detail and her day-to-day matter-of-factness (often very funny) with the strangeness of the world she inhabited...very powerfully imagined... absolutely compelling.
