'Laurie Graham, what a find! I was only about three sentences into At Sea when I knew I was going to savour every sentence and bitterly mourn the end ... Graham's taut, colourful, slightly camp style mingles Alan Bennett with Sue Townsend (does it get better than that?). The kind of book you stay awake far later than you should do reading, only to wake bleary eyed the next day thinking of the time when you can pick it up again' Wendy Holden, Daily Mail. 'Laurie Graham's grip on the art of subversive comedy is as masterful as ever... Sailing along on a tide of joie de vivre, readers will cheer for Enid as she asserts her independence' Lizzie Buchan, Sunday Times. 'Every line of this wonderfully subversive, positively Wodehousian comedy is hilarious. Curiously, this is my first encounter with a Laurie Graham novel and, so cheering was it, I am overjoyed to find there is a long backlist' Carla McKay, Daily Mail.
