Its strength lies in its vivid particularity, its fresh sardonic interplay of sharp wit and awful drama. Readers will lament its author's death, while at the same time applauding her fiction's vitality"
--------------Sunday Times
"Precise and vivid" - Penelope Lively
----------------Daily Telegraph
"It is a maternal book but written with ferocity.... sympathetic but never sentimental"
----------------The Observer
"A very compelling novel, which attempts, with unusual honesty, to portray complicated and uneasy emotions."
-----------Scotsman
"Very elegant. . .dense with detail, minutely observed and with flights of beautiful writing and lush delicious prose; always a pleasure to read."
-------------Literary Review
"A novel which probes every exposed nerve of family feelings and family hell. Jennifer Lash shows with absolute certainty the ways in which man hands misery to man. . .sharp and funny."

BLOOD TIES
The lastly published work of the famous authoress and paintress, Jennifer Lash.
According to her son, Ralph Fiennes, the life of his mother was filled out by blood ties and love. The love, the lack of which, and the blood ties, when becoming a gyve, are the main topic of this affecting novel.
It is already a bestseller in the USA and UK!
"The blood ties between the generations, that is between the parents and the children have fascinated my mother, because in them all that was concentrated what the human mankind meant for her. In her eyes the fact, who our parents are and what an image we have about them, is determinant of that who and what we are. It is of determinant importance whether our conception was casual or we were born as a result of passion.
I think this is the basis of her book Blood Ties".
---------Ralph Fiennes, Actor, the eldest son of Jennifer Lash
"There was no book until now, which has influenced me so deeply. I was already moved to tears by manuscripts, but at the end of this book, I broke out into sobs, indeed. And this astonished me. I knew that it must be published and I knew, too, that we have to publish it. What she has written in this book, it was not something just found out by a writer, but it was rooting deeply in her own experiences and in those in connection with her family and with her parents. Nowadays, people have perhaps more willingness to be open. The emotional affection created in the readers is caused by a mix of pain, love and hope."
------Liz Calder, Editor of the Bloomsburry Publishing House
