Recenzje

'A bawdy, romping affair ... Delaney mixes up genres - historical fiction, erotica, magic realism - to create something original'
- Book of the Month in The Times, November 2016

'An irresistible erotic fairytale for adults'
- The Guardian

'With elements of magical realism, plenty of sexy scenes, and a good dollop of drama, this is one hell of a read'
- The Sun

'A saucy bodice-ripper that combines magical realist flights of fancy with a smattering of punchy feminist politics'
- The Metro

'A compelling mix of bawdy romp and magical realism.'
- Red

'A fun, explicit romp with real stakes that will have you trying to finish this book in one sitting'
- Stylist

'An Almond for a Parrot romps and twists like the Fairy House girls in their bed chambers. It's full of lust and magic, but not without heart. It's an irresistible world to drop into.'
- Emerald Street
