‘If you're heading to a British seaside town this summer, the book you should take with you is Birdingby Rose Ruane . . . Ruane is a marvellous writer whose prose glitters with perfect metaphors and wincingly caustic one-liners. In fact you should take this on holiday wherever you're going.’ -- Jonathan Coe, Guardian, 'My Perfect Holiday Reading'

‘Set in a slightly seedy seaside town, this is a beautifully observed, nuanced novel’ ― Good Housekeeping, 'Best Ever Beach Reads'
