Cirtical Acclaim: A Saucepan in the Sky
I enjoyed A Saucepan in the Sky immensely – it stirred filed-away memories and refreshed the affection held for early relationships.
A Saucepan in the Sky has a lot more going for it than just a great title. Nicholls gets the child’s voice just right, no mean feat without getting mawkish
I particularly empathised with the days which for no reason at all become mood days and that thing about times where nothing “happens”.
Your book is an affirmation of something or other that is probably too big to put a label on.
I laughed the whole afternoon as I read it. How delightful in this grim world to find such humour.
Had me in fits of laughter in the train en route to work.
An absolutely delightful read…fascinating.
Paints a vivid picture of a colourful extended family. A compelling tale.
Details the mapping of a moral universe…a wry, humorous approach to living. ‘Uncle’ Stan is my all-time favourite character – a man with a unique worldview. I thoroughly recommend it.
