A Cupboard Full of Coats
A Cupboard Full of Coats by Yvvette Edwards was given a glowing commendation in this month's Literary Review...

...the review by Jonathan Barnes notes it alongside five debut novels including Stephen Kelman's Pigeon English.

'Rich in emotion but resolutely unsentimental, the story is unspooled with judgement and skill. Information is released at an almost ideal pace and secrets are withheld until the last possible moment. Edwards’s clear, colloquial prose is full of quietly impressive phrase-making… The performance is a wholly satisfying one and the novel’s valedictory suggestions of redemption feel earned, solid and real.'
