The Secret Hen House Theatre gets its first review

Posted by Tom on Jan 16, 2012

It’s not out until April, but The Secret Hen House Theatre, by debut novelist Helen Peters, has had its first review.

Writing for Ham & High, Kate Agnew calls the book:

“absolutely delightful … Astonishingly accomplished for a first novel, it is on one level an engaging story about a group of children determinedly staging a play in a disused old henhouse and, on another, a warm-hearted and compassionate account of a family coming to terms with loss. I enjoyed the proof so much that I read it in two sittings”
