“Makes you wish Les Dawson was alive to read the audio book” – The Juniper Tree by Barbara Comyns

"Barbara Comyns’ world is a brutal place, made up of isolated characters who escape poverty through the typically fairy-tale ending of marrying a wealthy man. In The Juniper Tree even the traditional happy ending of marriage falls apart but, at least, Bella finds the silver lining when she is sent to a psychiatric hospital: “Mother was becoming the kindest of women and seemed to like me much more now I was rather insane; perhaps I had been too independent before.”" - James Doyle reviews The Juniper Tree by Barbara Comyns
