The first literary reviews for Julie Myerson's book The Lost Child will appear this weekend, including Mark Lawson covering it for the Guardian and Jane Shilling for the Telegraph.
Bloomsbury, which is rush-publishing the book after the media furore of the past few days, said shops would receive copies "by next week at the latest" and that it was already reprinting the hardback because of "huge" demand in the trade.
