Praise for A Saucerful of Secrets

“If you like the sixties and mysteries, you'll enjoy this”

Marie-Claire

“'Touching and funny'”

“This is a thoughtful, humorous and often moving story about adoption and identity”

Kate Saunders, The Times

“The novel contains some fine playful moments, but it's when observing the real discomfort of not being loved, and not being known, that Yardley's writing shines.”

The Glasgow Herald

“Admirers of Shena Mackay will find the same mixture of dreamy charm and sharp-eyed humour ... Wonderfullly captures that era's bohemian mood ... Funny, touching and beautifully written”

Christina Koning, The Times
