Praise for The Message from Lindisfarne

A wonderful book. Salley Vickers spins a spellbinding account of a family in distress

Elizabeth Strout on 'Cousins'

Utterly compelling... Cousins is a remarkable book about the strange tact and terrors of family life and the histories that haunt it

Adam Phillips on 'Cousins'

Each distinct voice in this complex pattern of relationships is presented with deep empathy and clarity, so that you feel a real three-dimensional quality in the characters. The most painful ethical dilemmas are laid out with compassion and without manipulation. A serious, mature book that is also compellingly enjoyable

Rowan Williams on 'Cousins'

No one can dig down into the shrouded recesses of the human heart quite as forensically as Vickers

Sunday Times

Salley Vickers sees with a clear eye and writes with a light hand. She's a presence worth cherishing
