“There is little in the way of relief in this harrowing first novel, but Smailes' sensitivity towards her subjects – and the poetry of her writing – carry the story.” Financial Times.
'Black Boxes is bursting with creative ideas, beautiful language, and unforgettable characters. You may need to be a little bit brave to read it - but if you take the plunge, you'll be very glad you did.'
