‘Atkinson has a plotter’s mind: intricate, clever, satisfying…Shrines of Gaiety is engrossing and fun, powered by subtle skills.’  The Sunday Times

‘Seduction, betrayal and larger-than-life characters that will have you hooked until the last page.’ – The Sunday Telegraph

‘This book is one to savour, for the energy, for the wit, for the tenderness of characterisation that make Atkinson enduringly popular.’ – The Guardian
