Blackman's emotional intelligence is such that Boys Don't Cry should be read aloud in every secondary school * The Times *
Her writing at its best, creating characters and a story which, once read, will not easily go away * Independent *
Blackman grapples with contemporary issues without ever letting them overwhelm the story and characterisation. A winner * Financial Times *
This is an adroit investigation of family relations, very clearly portrayed * Daily Telegraph *
