The Snow and the Works on the Northern Line by Ruth Thomas
Offbeat and darkly funny, The Snow and the Works on the Northern Line is about things lost and found. It is also a story about love, grief and forgiveness: letting go and moving on.‘I would follow Sybil down any domestic/Beckett rabbit hole’
‘Sybil is an audible presence, someone that must be taken on her own terms, in her own wordsThe almost zen handling of voice is a joy.’
‘I just think it’s glorious. Absolutely brilliant! So funny so sad, so uplifting and so gripping. What a cracker!‘
‘Resonant and romantic, sad but never sentimental and laced through with wicked shafts of humour’
‘Wry, sharp and tender. A delight’
‘I LOVED IT! All the best bits of Barbara Pym, with a little Jane Austen - on speed’
Subtle, wry, intimate.
