Absorbing, insightful and immensely enjoyable -- Laura Barnett, bestselling author of The Versions of Us
Compassionate, witty and wise -- Saskia Sarginson, bestelling author of The Twins
Touching, funny, emotionally intelligent, Seven Days of Us is pure pleasure from beginning to end. It's stylishly written and totally engrossing. I really, really loved it -- Adele Geras
It's a cliché to say this book is a rollercoaster but the sun came up and the sun went down, people cried for help, and the bath overflowed, and I couldn't move, captivated by this extraordinary page-turner. The plot is compulsive and doesn't let up till the very last chapter. It has more twists and turns than Hampton Court Maze and yet Francesca Hornak guides one through it all with a confident hand until one puts it down, exhausted but exhilarated by such a rollicking good read. Terrific -- Virginia Ironside
An engrossing and funny study of a middle-class British family in crisis. I loved it! -- Keith Stuart, bestselling author of A Boy Made of Blocks
Witty and deeply heartfelt -- Bestselling author Emily Griffin
Hornak's first novel is a farcical gem, perfect for fans of Matthew Norman and Emma Straub. Alternately tender and razor-sharp, Seven Days of Us will resonate with anyone who regresses the minute they step inside their childhood home * Booklist starred review *
A superb drama - smart and touching * Sunday Mirror *
An emotional but ultimately uplifting holiday story * Kirkus Review *
A humorous and heartwarming page-turner * Belfast Telegraph *
This book is heartwarming and gloriously funny, anyone who spends the Christmas period with their family will be able to relate hugely to this novel. Thank god it's happening to the characters and not to you! * Doncaster Free Press *
If you are struggling with self-isolation in the family home, then this is the novel for you -- Abbie Greaves, author of The Silent Treatment
With its wry observations on class, family, and veddy-British traditions, Francesca Hornak's absorbing debut sparkles with glints of Nancy Mitford and Julian Fellowes
