Reviews

'tender, funny insightful . . . warm, clever and thought-provoking' The Big Issue
Philippa Boston, Daily Mail
A whirlwind of contemporary social issues . . . an extreme and entertaining picture of modern urban life. How Libby Purves manages to weave all this into a comedy, I don't know. But she does.
West Lancashire Evening Gazette
An author who tackles difficult contemporary issues with insight and compassion. Expect the unexpected in PASSING GO, a tale for our times.
Good Housekeeping
Humorous and touching
Christina Koning, Times
Libby Purves has excelled herself with this portrait of a dysfunctional clan, which is as full of sharp observations, insight and humour as her readers will have come to expect
Play
Purves ties up this tale with her usual skill . . . a modern fable with an old-fashioned message of tolerance and humanity at its core.
West Lancashire Evening Gazette
Both comic and poignant, the late of the magnificently dysfunctional Keaney family
Manchester Evening News
Urban life depicted in a most revealing way
The Scotsman
An astute tale of modern middle-class family breakdown and role reversals. An urban sitcom turned upside-down
East Anglian Daily Times
sharply observed, thought-provoking, witty - and ultimately optimistic and, indeed, heart-warming
