A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year
He just knocked, that was all, knocked at the front door and waited, like the fourteen years since the night I'd killed my mother hadn't happened at all...A" Crushed by an impossible shame, Jinx's life has been little more than a shell; estranged from her husband, she is even relieved when he takes her young son with him. When Lemon, an old friend of her mother's, turns up on her doorstep, Jinx is forced to confront her past, and with the pain of remembrance comes the possibility of redemption. But Lemon has his own secrets to share, and together they unravel an unforgettable family drama, stoked with violence and passion. Rich with voices from East London and the West Indies, Edwards's narrative is delivered with a unique and uncompromising bite that announces a new talent in British fiction.

Recenzii
“In this potent mystery . . . Edwards makes us greedy for the full story.” — New York Times
“[A] gorgeously lyrical debut novel. . . . Engrossing and human to the core, Edwards’s novel wrings the heart in the most tender of ways.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“I can’t stop talking about this gut-wrenching tale of forbidden love.” — Patrik Bass, Essence
“A piercing and engaging narrative that navigates through past and present heartache with tenderness and candor. This promising new author twists and turns words with skill reminiscent of Toni Morrison and Barbara Kingsolver, who similarly explore hidden and revealed secrets.” — Booklist
“A slow-burning heartbreaker of a story. . . [written] with elegant restraint and a sensitivity uncommon in debut novels.” — Shelf Awareness
“An impressive debut, particularly notable for its pellucid prose.” — Kirkus Reviews
“A Cupboard Full of Coats is high drama, full of breathtaking tension, and, at times, brought to mind the works of Arthur Miller and August Wilson, both of whom knew a thing or two about secrets spilled across a kitchen table.” — Attica Locke, author of Black Water Rising
“Fans of British psychological thrillers, à la Ruth Rendell, will adore this lyrical debut.” — Redbook Magazine
