Reviews

Daily Express
Not dissimilar to Christopher in Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. If you enjoyed that book you'll love this one . . . A truly heartwarming story of family, love and loyalty . . . It might be wise to have a box of tissues at the ready . . . Beautifully written and complete with a powerful message, What Milo Saw will make you think, and then pick up the phone to call your mum.

Stylist
It is impossible not to fall in love with nine-year-old Milo in this touching novel
Irish Tatler
Deals with serious themes including family life and the treatment of the elderly in society. The novel addresses these issues with sensitivity and good humour reminiscent of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Clare Mackintosh, author of Sunday Times Top Ten bestselling I Let You Go
I defy you not to fall in love with Milo . . . What Milo Saw is a reminder to us all that in life, perspective is everything. A modern-day fable and undoubtedly a future classic
