'Every so often a novel comes along with a magic, broad appeal; an inevitable conversation starter. Jessica Stanley's A Great Hope is that kind of magic novel; a literary, multi-generational family saga that's ambitious, smart and wholly engaging. Here is a book that wields a page-turning plot and gripping, complicated characters. You'll gulp down all 400 pages, then push it fervently into the hands of everyone you know' - Readings
