Praise for Jacqueline Roy & The Gosling Girl: ‘[The Gosling
Girl] interrogates the context of a child's crime and simplistic
notions of evil by society and the media. It fosters understanding
& empathy and draws us deep inside the protagonist's
psychology’ Bernardine Evaristo ‘This intriguing procedural is
above all a portrait of two damaged women and a moving
demonstration of how race and class have affected their
lives'Â The Times and The Sunday Times Crime Club 'This is a
beautifully written, insightful and thought-provoking novel.
Michelle's story drew me in immediately, and while it's
heartbreaking in places, it's uplifting in others. Jacqueline Roy
writes with deep compassion and empathy, and I have a feeling this
wonderfully compelling novel will stay with me for a long
time' Susan Elliot Wright, author of All You Ever
Wanted 'A thoughtful, slow-burn exploration of how damaged children
damage, The Gosling Girl asks whether some children are born evil -
and shows emphatically that an abusive childhood is to blame. I
felt increasing sympathy for Michelle Cameron, in all her
manifestations. At times, disturbing, poignant, and
thought-provoking'Â Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a
Scandal and Reputation ‘It was refreshing to read a thriller that
wasn’t full of twists, though I kept waiting for them, as I’ve
been conditioned to expect them. This well-plotted story follows
Michelle, who’s recently been released from prison. Does someone
who’s committed an awful crime deserve to start
again?’ Prima ‘Written with compassion, and an
exceptional sense of identity by Roy — born to a Jamaican father
and a British mother — it is both striking and
powerful’  Daily Mail ‘(a)…provocative tale of
institutional racism, and how the marginalised fight
back’ Stylist Magazine ‘A powerful look at
institutionalised racism and the after-effects of a childhood
crime' S Magazine ‘The Gosling Girl is one of the
most moving thrillers I’ve read for some time' Observer
