'To repeat: this novel is so, soooo good.' – Niall Griffiths
Praise for HELLO FRIEND WE MISSED YOU by Richard Owain Roberts:
'This is so, so good. You will no doubt read this book, as I did, with an ever-growing sense of appreciation and admiration for its wit, warmth, rhythm, poetry, and virtuoso display of a writer in complete and audacious command of his material. What is at root a simple boy-meets-girl story is transmuted into something uniquely astonishing through a wild and intrepid imagination. To repeat: this novel is so, soooo good.' – Niall Griffiths
