Praise for The Woman Who Went Over Niagara Falls in a Barrel:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I laughed, cried, gasped, cried some more. Every single word is perfection!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The absolute courage of this woman was amazing. This should be made into a film.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’She defied the archaic ideas, modes of restraint and ageism put on women of her era. I cannot rave enough about this novel and what a brilliant ‘fictionalised love letter’ Ms Cauchi has written in honour of Annie Edson Taylor.”
