It is wonderfully written: the vocabulary is subtle and precise, the tone playful and the dialogues are well-crafted. “Jericho is an exciting début novel with unforgettable main characters and a fine cast of supporting characters.

“To say I enjoyed this book would be an understatement. In fact, I’d rank this up with Curious Wine as a classic lesbian love story. And not just because it had a librarian in it. From its opening paragraph, the reader is greeted with rich detail, flowing internal dialogue, witty humor, jagged verbal jousting, and a joyous intellectual tete-a-tete.” -The Rainbow Reader “Jericho is not a quick little love story, it’s a fully-involved romance novel clocking in at over 400 well-written, well-conceived pages. It is infused with love and humour, drawing out and catching the idiosyncrasies of a wide cast of locals that we can all recognise and largely empathise with.” -The Lesbian Reading Room But it is full of superb observation of human character and behaviour. “Jericho was and is an admirable first novel.
