Críticas:

Unique and beautiful . . . a haunting, mesmerising read. (Rosamund Lupton, author of 'Sister')

Hamer's brilliant storytelling made me read on for fear Ruby's fate depended on it. (Grazia)

Like her bestselling debut The Girl In the Red Coat, in The Doll Funeral Hamer again excels in weaving a story around a girl who's not quite of this world . . . A slow-burning beauty of a book. (Red Magazine)

The tremendous momentum of the story gathers pace with every page, hooking you into its strangeness and keeping you hooked to the very last word. (Rebecca Abrams Financial Times)

An elegiac and uplifting novel. (Guardian)

Hamer writes with great skill and emotional depth - about the confusions of adolescence and identity, the bond between mothers and daughters and the redemptive power of love. (Observer)

Compelling . . . A dark and at times heartbreaking story of loss and belonging, in a haunting setting . . . Superb. (Lucy Atkins, author of 'The Other Child')
