Each character is lovingly crafted, their stories beautifully and heartbreakingly woven into something magical. The writing crackles with humour and warmth whilst not being afraid to tackle the harsh realities of racism in the 1970s. Its the kind of story you want to devour greedily but then feel bereft that you wont get to spend more time with Imelda, Cillian, Billie, Treasure, and all the other glorious characters. I cant imagine a better book in which to lose yourself at the moment. Stunning, immersive and absolutely wonderful. -- Annie LyonsWoke up early to finish this breathtakingly beautiful story. Ruth Hogans Madame Burova is absolutely wonderful. -- Celia AndersonA triumph! Its moving and entertaining and packed with surprises... When I look into my crystal ball I predict its going to be a MASSIVE hit! * Matt Cain, author of The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle *Packed full of twists, turns and a wonderfully drawn cast of characters you wont forget, Madame Burova is a supremely uplifting tale of secrets, love and identity all written with Hogans trademark warmth and humour. An absolute gem. * Mike Gayle *This is a novel that fascinates throughout its length. Its a novel that holds mysticism, accidental and deliberate secrets, and unrequited and lost love within Ruth Hogans very able grasp. She has woven together many strands of storylines within a juxtaposition of time frames that shes fitted exquisitely together. She has created characters from different cultures and stations in society and melded them to form a very satisfying read. The Madame Burova of the title is an especially vivid portrayal of a woman who, because of her Romany roots and fortune-telling gifts, will always stand slightly outside the conventional normality of everyday life. Its mainly through her viewpoint that this story is told and its told with humour and sadness and an understanding of the human condition. * Kit Fielding *Hogan loves offbeat and marginalised characters and so its a typically kooky cast of seafront regulars: 1970s entertainers, Romany cardreaders and various rescue dogs who help Billie crack the mystery of her past. The Queen of Uplit returns brilliantly to form with this gloriously good-natured novel. * Daily Mail *I loved discovering Brighton through the eyes of Billie and Imelda in Madame Burova. Ruth Hogans beautiful characters stay with me and remind me of the importance of families - those were born with and those dear friends who are our chosen family. An uplifting, shimmering novel. * Janet Skeslien Charles, author of The Paris Library *Blooming with wonderful, vibrant and charismatic characters. * Prima *Hogan doesnt hold back with her raw portrayal of the 1970s society arguably full of discrimination. She creates authenticity by learning how to read the tarot cards herself, taking heed from a real life medium. Clever plotting, characters that speak from the heart and an inquisitive subject make this the perfect staycation read. Ultimately a love story from the queen of up lit. Grab a deckchair and read away... * My Weekly *This is a delightful, uplifting and charming novel, full of wisdom and fun. Fans of Ruths previous novels...will love it. * Daily Record **Praise for The Keeper of Lost Things*A joyful novel filled with warmth and wisdom. * The Daily Mail *A charming story of fresh starts and self-discovery that warms the cockles. * Woman & Home *Psychological realism, whimsy and magic are a winning combination in this quirky, exquisitely crafted novel... Its a charming read, perfect for the holidays: you will want to share it when you get home. * The Lady *Hogans touching, funny and romantic debut is that rare and precious thing: a real story with brilliant characters. * Daily Mail *This mystical and spiritual tale is a joyous read that will broaden your imagination and warm your heart. * OK! * Long Description The Queen of Uplit returns brilliantly to form with this gloriously good-natured novel.
