MEDIA REVIEWS

Eve Chase does it again! The Birdcage is glorious; a bittersweet, beautifully written, slow burn family drama with a killer kick in the closing chapters. I loved every word of it - Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of The Night She Disappeared

Eve Chase is one of my favourite authors and I fell in love with The Birdcage. A gorgeously written, atmospheric and twisty story of sisters and secrets set on the Cornish coast. Eve Chase's books never fail to make me cry. I devoured it! - Claire Douglas, bestselling author of The Couple at No. 9

Eve Chase never disappoints. The far west of Cornwall is evoked in all its wild and mystical glory in this lyrical and propulsive family drama about three sisters whose lives have been overshadowed by a tragic secret on the eve of the 1999 eclipse. Chase conjures up a bohemian, artistic world filled with damaged daughters and their charismatic, largely absent and narcissistic father. Immersive, tense and ultimately redemptive, while I was reading, it held me completely in its grip. - Sarah Vaughan, bestselling author of Anatomy of a Scandal

Atmospheric and twisty: think Daphne Du Maurier for the modern day - Sunday Telegraph

I loved it . . . engrossing, gripping and layered - Gillian McAllister, bestselling author of That Night

Atmospheric and beautifully written. I absolutely loved it. - Jane Fallon, bestselling author of Worst Idea Ever

Beautiful, page-turning, with believable characters you root for, this will sweep you away. I loved it - Katie Fforde, bestselling author of Wedding Season

I loved this atmospheric story about families and secrets - Prima

The Birdcage is a show-stopping novel - beautifully written and atmospheric, with a cast of fascinating, brilliantly realised characters whose story kept me absolutely gripped. Eve Chase has an extraordinary talent - she's one of the only writers I would drop anything for - Rosie Walsh, bestselling author of The Man Who Didn't Call

A beautifully written-mystery in an evocative Cornish setting at the time of the eclipse. Stunning - Catherine Cooper, bestselling author of The Chalet

Vividly descriptive - Choice

The complex relationships between three half-sisters, their mothers and their artist father are painted with compelling psychological depth in this extraordinary and gripping masterpiece. The treacherous Cornish coast is the setting for a cleverly narrated unravelling of the past and the myriad ways in which it has shaped the present. It's like an Old Master portrait that gives away more secrets with each viewing. Eve Chase's best novel yet - and the bar was already sky-high - Gill Paul, bestselling author of Women and Children First

Atmospheric, suspenseful . . . A captivating, beguiling read - Sunday Express

A page-turning story brilliantly told in a lush narrative bursting with vivid, wonderful images. Haunting, emotional & just lovely. Loved it. - Tracy Rees, bestselling author of The Rose Garden

Wildly glamorous and utterly intoxicating, The Birdcage is Eve Chase at her very best: taut, intriguing and evocative. Du Maurier with a modern twist - Veronica Henry, bestselling author of How to Find Love in a Book Shop

Eve Chase is a stunning and meticulous writer and The Birdcage - like all her novels - is as spellbinding in its prose, as it is in its plot and the expertly crafted mystery at its heart. A very special novel - Katy Regan, author of Little Big Man

I read it in one sitting and absolutely sobbed at the end. Eve is such an evocative writer - she paints with words - but she has also crafted such a cleverly layered story that I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! I was mentally and emotionally wrung out by the end. It's a triumph! - Karen Swan, bestselling author of The Christmas Secret

Skillfully plotted and richly atmospheric, The Birdcage weaves together the stories of three sisters forced to confront an explosive past. Dark family secrets, old rivalries, and new dangers collide in this clever and engaging page-turner - Lindsay Cameron, author of Just One Look

An evocative, beautifully written mystery in which the past whispers in corners and family secrets are washed back in on the tide. I loved it - Tammy Cohen, author of The Wedding Party

The Birdcage is an intriguing study of sisters and sibling rivalry, of memory and forgetting, of daughters who are more mature than their father. Eve Chase took me to an isolated manor in windswept Cornwall, where I turned the pages faster and faster to see if the three sisters could put the past - and past grievances - behind them. The perfect weekend read! - Janet Skeslien Charles, author of The Paris Library

I always look forward to a new Eve Chase novel and The Birdcage didn't disappoint. Time and place are evoked with subtle perfection. Complex sibling rivalries and secrets, the past rubbing up against the present, make this a must-read Chase classic. I couldn't recommend it more highly - E.C Fremantle, author of The Poison Bed
