Yvvette Edwards’s A Cupboard Full of Coats has received an impressive review in Booklist, who have praised the novel’s ‘piercing and engaging narrative’…

Here is the review, by Heather Paulson, in full:

‘Fourteen years after the tragic death of her mother, Jinx cannot reconcile her overwhelming sense of guilt and move on with her life. Her marriage has dissolved, her relationship with her young son is in shambles, and she hasn’t learned to love since her mother’s violent exit from this world at the hands of her lover. But when an unexpected visitor from the past returns, Jinx is forced to face the twisted tale of her mother’s last months and uncover secrets that turn her world upside down. Set in the Montserratian community in East London, Edwards’ debut novel, long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, is a piercing and engaging narrative that navigates through past and present heartache with tenderness and candor. This promising new author twists and turns words with skill reminiscent of Toni Morrison and Barbara Kingsolver, who similarly explore hidden and revealed secrets.’
