Revue de presse :
Interesting and exciting... the characters are all interesting and well drawn and there's a little bit of a feel of Dickens...A lovely, atmospheric tale (THE BOOKBAG)
Cora's identity trouble is an apt expression of a teenager's confusion and fear, and Victorian London is beautifully rendered, riven with monkeys and murderers and mud (Philip Womack THE DAILY TELEGRAPH)
A genuine discovery, a fast compulsive read and paints a very harsh picture of what life was really like for children who had no home to go to in Victorian times. It isn't cute, but it is clever and vividly brings the slums of England to life with rich characters and lively dialogue. You too will be willing Cora on to survive and looking forward to more adventures with Cora Parry (Sam North HACKWRITERS.COM)
Add a touch of a ghost story, a hint of Dickens and back it up with a helping of descriptive prose and you'll be walking the streets taking your chances alongside Cora. All in a different type of tale and one that's beautifully told which will not only endear Angela to the reader but also help set her up as a firm fan favourite (FALCATA TIMES)
This book gives a good impression of how tough Victorian life was for those without means, painting a vivid picture. It is a challenging novel with different themes but it has some well-drawn characters to keep you following along (CHICKLISH)
Angela McAllister's descriptive writing is a delight. With a keen eye for salient detail, she paints a vivid and compelling portrait of Victorian England with all its colour, excitement, hypocrisy and squalor. With its strong female characters, its ever-present sense of menace and its darkly enticing evocation of the Victorian underworld, The Double Life of Cora Parry is a gripping read.' (WRITE AWAY)
An atmospheric page-turner from a talented storyteller (LOVEREADING)
With themes of identity, madness and loss, Angela McAllister skilfully weaves a compelling psychological tale that will entertain and educate all young adult (and older) readers who share an interest in history. It's beautifully written too. (Essie Fox THE VIRTUAL VICTORIAN)
Well written, with good story lines and believable characters (BFK BOOKS)
This was an interesting tale and will hook readers to the end (THE SCHOOL LIBRARIAN)

Abandoned to the workhouse after the death of her guardians, Cora Parry refuses to accept her fate.
Under the tuition of persuasive street-rat Fletch, Cora finds herself reluctantly drawn deep into the Victorian underworld. As she is gradually seduced into a life of crime, Cora creates a persona for herself - Carrie - allowing her to separate her uneasy conscience from her actions.
But soon things are spiralling out of control. Carrie is committing acts of crime that Cora knows she can't possibly have done. Where does Carrie end and Cora begin? Who is really in control, and where will it end?
An atmospheric page-turner from a talented storyteller.
