Mumsnet 'Best Books for Christmas 2016'

'Ideal for anyone who has ever wondered what on earth to read next' SJ WATSON

'Witty, engaging and informative. The sort of book you choose for a friend and end up wanting to keep' RACHEL JOYCE

This is a medical handbook with a difference. Whether you have a stubbed toe or a severe case of the blues, within these pages you'll find a cure in the form of a novel to help ease your pain. You'll also find advice on how to tackle common reading ailments - such as what to do when you feel overwhelmed by the number of books in the world, or you have a tendency to give up halfway through. When read at the right moment, a novel can change your life and The Novel Cure is an enchanting reminder of that power.

Brilliant . . . A perfect gift - Vogue

Witty, engaging and informative, The Novel Cure is for anyone who loves reading. It's the sort of book you choose for a friend and end up wanting to keep. My advice would be to buy two - RACHEL JOYCE, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

Witty, warm and wise, I loved this book within moments of dipping in and know I shall be returning to it for a long time to come. It's a wonderful reminder of the restorative power of fiction and ideal for anyone who has ever wondered what on earth to read next - SJ WATSON, author of Before I Go to Sleep

The Novel Cure is a tonic in itself. It's tempting to become a hypochondriac just to read more - DAMIAN BARR, author of Maggie & Me

Wonderful . . . A really great gift for anyone who needs a literary pick-me-up - Mumsnet

We're hooked - Psychologies

This book is a great way to broaden your literary horizons - and an entertaining read in its own right - The Lady

[An] amazing book . . . I suspect it is one that many a reader will want to own and keep to hand for every eventuality. Books about books are always a treat, I have a shelf full of them, but The Novel Cure is different, much more than that and I can see how useful it will be - dovegreyreader.com
