With a marvellously evocative setting, strong and believable lead characters and a pacey plot, Another Heartbeat in the House is a great read.

A delightful story, rich, engrossing and vividly told

A compelling, atmospheric story brimming with period detail about two feisty, independent heroines who will steal your heart.

Sweeps you away to an Ireland of the past and keeps you utterly enthralled.

Everything is alive in Kate Beaufoy's new novel: the slang of a former era rings authentically, a house has a personality, a dog has a voice. If you're looking for an absorbing, delicious well-told tale in which to lose yourself, this is it.

Beaufoy convincingly channels voices from the 1930s and 1840s to create a hugely enjoyable book, perfect for a lazy summer afternoon.

[Beaufoy's] keen ear for dialogue echoes with the wit of Austen.

Lightness of touch with wonderful scene-setting, a brace of brave and independent female characters who nest in your imagination and refuse be evicted - and William Thackeray to boot... Settle in and enjoy.

An enchanting tale of two women across the centuries, and their love for the same house . . . This is a tale to sweep you back into Irish history, full of poetry and humour

I immediately read The Memory Book and it's WONDERFUL ... I'm so happy because she's written other books and its so lovely to find a writer you love who has a backlist

bitter sweet, breathless and ultimately life-affirming

Beautiful and moving

... a tender, poignant and hopeful novel

We Are All Made of Stars is an exceptional, beautifully-written, heartrending book that will stay with me for a very long time. Hugely moving - it made me want to wrap my arms around those I love and never let them go - and yet imbued with hope and life, it's the most incredible read. I felt bereft when it ended.

A beautiful book... this is weepie-tastic.

A moving tale from the bestselling author of The Memory Book

Beautiful…just beautiful. Generous, warm-hearted, and courageous from start to finish. I adored everything about this book.

A bittersweet story about love and letting go, you'll remember these wonderfully affecting and very human characters long after you've turned the last page

A tear-jerking but ultimately uplifting story

One of my favourite writers

A big, juicy family saga with warm humor and tragic twists...lively and engaging.

There is much to recommend this book...a pleasant summer read.

Good old-fashioned story-telling with a charming cast of characters

The perfect read. Read it!
