Critic reviews

"Evaristo remains an undeniably bold and energetic writer, whose world view is anything but one-dimensional" ( Sunday Times on Blonde Roots)

Exceptional narration

The performance for this joyous comedy of manners is superb. Not to be missed! Highly recommended.

The story is good but the narration nailed it!

Chapeau to the narration of this book! It simply added the salt and pepper the story needed! Without it I don't think I would have found it so hilarious.

Reality of characters, humor and compassion, brilliantly told

Loved it all. Very real and kind portrayal of what being a gay man was then, still is now.

Sublime

The narrator gives the right vibes to this excellent book. I love how Evaristo writes. I loved how was reading at loud. absolutely hilarious!!!!
