What Reviewers Are Saying
A powerful, moving read. || A beautifully written and powerful story filled with drama, angst and danger which readers will not only find accessible but very engaging. || Payback gives a welcome and often gripping airing to this topical issue, examining concepts of family honour, religion, love and the place of women in society in an accessible way. || This is contemporary novel-writing at its most relevant. || 'A really good book with a strong storyline and lots of gripping description.' Erin Forrest, Craigmount High
