Reviews

'A stunning debut.' Woman& Home

'A stunning debut! Epic in scope and voice! so skilfully crafted, and the writing so elegant, it's hard to believe it is a first novel.' The Globe&Mail

'As heart-rending as it is innovative, The Hungry Ghosts heralds Berry as an original new voice in fiction.' TimeOut

'This is a novel as breezy as the best summer reads, yet secrets and deadly jealousy seethe at its core! engrossing.' Daily Mail
