Reviews:

Voted one of the Top Ten Books to Talk About for World Book Day.

Sophie Hannah's (short story) debut will leave you feeling genuinely tickled and wanting more. The award-winning «The Octopus Nest” is menacing enough to keep the pages turning, and astute enough about rocky relationships to make even the narrator wince. Emma Hagestadt,The Independent

Hannah has an uncanny knack for letting you feel you could find your way blindfold amongst the Formica and office furniture, get comfy — only to find yourself tripping over the psychopath lurking by the kitchen sink…superbly unsettling. Sarah Hilary,The Short Review
