Review ------ "Nicholls has brought alive the young women of the past to empower the next generation" (Alex O'Connell The Times, Children's Book of the Week) "Each voice is distinct, resonant and authentic... uniquely special" (Imogen Russell Williams Guardian) "Romantic and inspiring" (Nicolette Jones Sunday Times, Best Books of 2017) "[A] chocolate box of a novel ... books such as this are all the more to be prized" (Telegraph) "A perfect balm to a frustrating world" (Buzzfeed) "Timely, informative and hugely enjoyable... the book excels at what fiction is best at: inviting empathy and understanding for others" (Irish Times) "Things A Bright Girl Can Do is relevant for every generation" (Evening Standard) "A richly textured novel" (Geraldine Brennan Observer, Best books of 2017) "Inspiring and infuriating in equal measures, Things A Bright Girl Can Do is an utterly captivating novel. Sally Nicholls deftly weaves history and politics into the narrative with such a lightness of touch, it was impossible to stop reading. Immensely enjoyable" (Louise O'Neill) "Fantastic. Conveys all the intricacies of the political and social situation in a way that's vivid, hard-hitting, funny and emotionally compelling. It feels like we're living it, rather than just learning about it."
