Trade ReviewJump! is the perfect read for chilly autumn nights. Hugely entertaining, touching and funny, yet again Cooper has a winner * Daily Express *
This is definitely the most exciting book that landed on my doormat this year. Cooper is a major genius... the narrative zips along, pierced with her characteristically brilliant ear for dialogue and empathy for human relationships of all kinds. You won't be able to put it down -- Sara Lawrence * Daily Mail *
Near-magical ability to conjure up a world and populate it with people for whom you feel a deep affection * Observer *
To read one of Cooper's books is to escape into an alternative universe in which all is right with the world * Guardian *
