The Times on I Do Not Sleep

"Dark and thoughtful...perfect summer reading."

Louise Candlish on Eloise

"Exudes a deep and soulful sense of place. Romantic and rain-lashed, du Maurier's Cornwall haunts the pages of Eloise as powerfully as the spirit of the elusive heroine herself. A stirring and intriguing read."
