'Notably sharp, funny original, part Caribbean magic, part London grime, written in a slippery, chameleon language that is a frequent delight' Salman Rushdie
'An exceptionally talented writer of prose fiction - Melville's descriptive powers are especially acute' Times Literary Supplement
'With immense verve and skill she shows how the English language has been taken over and transformed by those people whose ancestors were forced to speak it. A very impressive and enjoyable first book' --Sean French, New Statesman & Society
