Reviews
Praise for 'A Young Lady's Miscellany', 'Shambling, awkward boys presume that girls, especially the attractive ones, know exactly what they're doing when it comes to the birds and bees. That somehow the manual on 'how to have good sex' has been pre-installed. Refreshingly, in 'A Young Lady's Miscellany', Auriel Roe confirms that it absolutely has not. Girls can make a giant horlicks of it too. Dave Tindall, sports journalist; Praise for Blindefellows, the author's debut novel ""A sprightly, inventive novel, rich in amusing characters and situations. I enjoyed every word of it."" Tony Connor, Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature; 'What a great book! Funny from the start and beautifully observed. Great characters (every school should have a Japes). The book straddles a gap somewhere between P G Wodehouse and Tom Sharpe with a little Simon Brett thrown in for good measure. I loved it. More please!' Stevyn Colgan, author and writer on the QI television show; 'Unputdownable! Immersive and immensely enjoyable. I too became a Blindefellow in the duration of this book and can't wait to be transported to another world in this funny and wonderful author's next adventure!' Leon Hwatcha, award winning jazz singer; 'A Blindfellows Chronicle' is one of the most original and sweeping books I've read in a long, long time' Fidan Lurin of Her Good Reads
