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”
