Other People Manage by Ellen Hawley
A novel of great wisdom but light touch about love and loss and familyand how to survive them all. For fans of Elizabeth Strout and Lorrie Moore.'A short, quietly devastating novel about our failings and how we cope; if you can imagine an Anne Tyler or Carol Shields novel about an outsize lesbian bus driver and the ordinary complexity of the second family love draws around her you’re close to what Ellen Hawley achieves here' - Patrick Gale
‘Memorable for its examination of the themes of love, loss and family - and Marge’s voice, both no-nonsense and touching’ - Fanny Blake, Daily Mail
‘Rich in the pleasures of good storytelling … so intelligent about the essential raggedness of real lives’ - TLS
'It is a novel written with exquisite attention to ordinary detail, elevating the everyday into something miraculous.. the pages are packed with ordinary wisdom, the hard-won kind, the blistered-hand and aching-back kind, conveyed in a beautiful, spare poetic prose ... a tender and beautiful addition to the literary canon, and a mirror for LGBT readers' - Joelle Taylor, Irish Times
'Ellen Hawley has constructed a powerful and illuminating vision of contemporary love. Other People Manage makes a story that is painful and difficult at the same time it is deeply rewarding' - David Huddle, author of Only the Little Bone and Hazel
