Approval follows would-be parents David and Cici through a series of forays into the past as they go through the motions of applying to adopt a child.“John Rutter's Approval is many things at onceA powerful meditation on judgement. A transfixing fable of a Kafka-esque application process. A complex tragedy about fatherhood. But it's also a simple, affecting and beautifully wrought story of one couple's journey towards what they most desire – a child – and the cost of reaching out for one. A hugely promising debut.”
-- Rodge Glass"An authentic voice … the issues it raises are very real and have contemporary resonance."
-- Lancashire Evening Post
