Sundowners

A very 21st Century blockbuster, this has all the classic elements - nailbiting narrative, absorbing relationships, glamorous locations - with an extra shot of intelligence . . . Much more than a coming-of-age tale, this creates a glamorous and exciting world that is so contemporary and convincing you'll feel like a special fifth member of their group * COSMOPOLITAN *
A big-hearted women's read * DAILY MIRROR *
Best described as a sort of Blockbuster Plus - in this case plus a little bit more intelligence and social and political grip than is normal . . . Agreeably glamorous and pageturning * DAILY MAIL *
This is an absolute treat of a read set in the uber-chic worlds of modelling, politics and international corporations and set against the glamorous backdrops of London, Los Angeles, Johannesburg and Martinique. If this sexy and intelligent debut is anything to go by, Lesley Lokko is set to be a big thing in contemporary lit * DAILY RECORD *
Make way Jackie Collins - there's an exciting new writer on the block . . . [Sundowners] has glamour, forbidden love and exotic locations. What more could you ask for? * BELLA *
I just wanted to say that AT LAST I have managed to read Sundowners - I went away for 5 days and couldn't put it down. It had a wonderfully international feel to it, with a bit of politics for one's sharper end, and I enjoyed all the characters enormously -- Annabel Giles

Entertaining and thought-provoking * DAILY EXPRESS *
