Whistle in the Dark

Healey is a natural story-teller

Claire Fuller, author of 'Our Endless Numbered Days'

I don't know anyone else who writes like this. Emma Healey's voice soars, sings and startles as she takes you right under the skin of her characters. She 'magics' the ordinary into the extraordinary and, just as impressively, transposes the extraordinary to the ordinary. Unforgettable.

Jane Corry, bestselling author of 'My Husband's Wife'

This novel is a beautiful and rare thing - a page turning thriller with all the pain, warmth and humour of authentic family life portrayed. I absolutely loved it.

Kate Hamer, author of 'The Girl in the Red Coat'

Utterly compelling and insightful, I was drawn into this family in crisis from the first chapter of this unflinchingly honest and beautifully written novel

Rosamund Lupton, bestselling author of 'Sister'

A compelling modern family drama with witty and wonderful characters. Utter bliss.
