Praise for Dot: ‘Dot is a moving, passionate novel about the connections between families and how we repeat and re-live the mistakes of the past. It made me think about what it means as a woman to both to have and to be a daughter, mother and grandmother' Emily Mortimer, star of Doll & Em ‘An emotionally compelling and deeply moving novel – I loved it’ Daisy Goodwin ‘Beautifully written; [Dot] is lyrical and haunting, whilst also being sad and true. It is a completely compelling read with a very satisfying plot. It stayed with me for a long time after reading’ Dolly Wells, star of Doll & Em ‘Araminta Hall is an exceptionally talented writer… A thoroughly enjoyable read’ Carol Birch, author of Jamrach’s Menagerie ‘This is a powerful tale about the negative effects of paternal irresponsibility, yet ultimately how string female friendships overthrow the damage done by it. Stunning’ IMAGE MAGAZINE ‘Mixing melancholic home truths with uniquely British humour.
