This is what people have been saying about THE WATER'S EDGE:

'Reminiscent of Angela Carter... an engaging debut' The Times

'An utterly charming, strange and subtle love story' Emma Donoghue

'I found this book utterly transporting. Tondeur has a truly original, fresh style that is full of surprises and delights' Julia Darling
