«.The most beautiful, elegant writing I.ve read in a long time. If you love Anne Tyler, you will ADORE this. Joanna Cannon»
«.Absolutely loved its quiet, insightful generosity. Claire King»
«.It is the most satisfying book that I.ve read in a long time, and the most clear-eyed, honest, yet sympathetic examination of relationships that I have ever read. The subtlety with which she portrays the inconsistencies between how the characters see each other versus how they see themselves is masterful. Sara Taylor»
«.There is a hint of Ingmar Bergman in this portrayal of a completely normal family, it delves deep and wrenches your heart. Adresseavisen»
«.Completely gripping in its intimacy, it's a really deep delve into relationships but also a stark dissection of the illusions we rely on about who we are. Another hit from Orenda Books. Live Many Lives»
