Trade Review
With her second novel, TV presenter and book club founder Judy Finnigan deserves to be taken seriously as a writer. I DO NOT SLEEP is a tense atmospheric story about a mother who refuses to accept her son is dead * Good Housekeeping *
There's plenty of emotion in this story... Set in Cornwall, there is melodrama and mysticism and a strong sense of place. * Sunday Mirror *
Judy Finnigan's Cornwall has echoes of du Marurier... (and) is as much a homage to her adopted home of Cornwall as it is a tale of the imponderable - a mother's grief for her lost son... A cracking read * Irish Independent *
A moving story of grief, loss and a mother's unbreakable bond with her child * Woman & Home *
...always heartfelt...this mystical story has a moving message * Sunday Express *
Full of love, spirituality and redemption, which manages to be both melancholy and feel-good at the same time * Daily Mail *
This is a haunting tale of mother's enduring love, with echoes of Daphne du Maurier. * Woman *
A story of love, loss and motherhood . . . perfect summer reading * The Times *
