Praise for War Damage: 'First class . . . the portrait of austerity Britain is masterful and the most fascinating character in this impressive work is the capital itself * Sunday Telegraph * This book is as stylish as one would hope. An evocative, escapist tale of murder and secrecy in post-war London * Grazia * This is a clever, well-written and carefully plotted novel in which class, hypocrisy, moral corruption, treachery and taboos ancient and modern are cunningly interwoven. It's a thoughtful, clever read with a twist at the end that makes you want to turn back the pages to wonder how you missed the clues -- Peter Millar * The Times * The picture of an earlier era of austerity Britain has a confident sweep and truthfulness that establishes The Girl in Berlin as something rather special in the espionage genre. -- Barry Forshaw * Independent * Wilson's third novel has all the strengths of her others. She's great on style - "her white shirt had the collar turned up and she cinched in her black, drainpipe trousers with a wide red belt"; atmosphere (the foul taste of smog in your throat); and how the covertly interlinked milieus that ran the country operated. -- John O'Connell * Guardian *
