One of my favourite writers

The modern writer who has influenced me the most

In his prime, he evolved a clear and effective prose style that achieved a quality possessed only by master story-tellers, making the reader greedy for more....From an era that produced George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells and John Galsworthy, Maugham is the great survivor

Bold and beautiful, often witty, hopeful, enriching

Symmons Roberts is already a poet of note, and this...is discernibly a poet's book. Short and introspective, it stays in the mind and echoes

Magically spun out. An entrancing yet disturbing book

An absorbing fable of the here-and-now

A call to embrace life

Praise for Liane Moriarty

Every single one of her books is a great read

Staggeringly brilliant, literally unputdownable

Keeps you guessing until the very end - perfect summer read

Moriarty writes vividly, wittily and wickedly

The writing is beautiful: sometimes funny, sometimes sad but always compelling

Like drinking a pink cosmo laced with arsenic . . . a fun, engaging and sometimes disturbing read

Riveting drama packed with suspense and secrets

Wise, honest, beautifully observed. One of the few writers I'll drop anything for

Straight-from-life characters, knife-sharp insight and almost unbearable suspense will have you racing through it

Perfect

A hell of a good book. Funny and scary

A cracking story cleverly told

Fascinating and compassionate
