Mail on Sunday

‘One of the finest books published this year… Hilarious and tear-jerking in turns’

Daily Mail

‘A touching novel… full of quiet tenderness, and written from the heart’
Independent

‘A finely constructed novel that says more about human relationships than a library of psychology manuals, hitting the funny bone and the emotional jugular at one and the same time’ Irish Times
