“A taut, complex, sympathetic novel carried out with delicacy and dash.”
Daily Telegraph
“There is something profound in the manner in which it scrutinises marital freefall… There is bravery in what Barker has written about, a broaching of taboo”
The Times
“A Perfect Life is a closely observed portrait…and it brims with all the emotions and nuances of real life”
Waterstone’s Books Quarterly
“Raffaella Barker is so good at drawing her characters and making them likeable that within about ten pages you feel you know them intimately…Very,very well done”
