A bleakly powerful ending with a moving, finely contrived element of hope

Beautifully spare, poetic prose...A haunting book

A thoughtful reminder of the wounds of conflict, and the depths of its scars... a clever, innovative, unusual book which is both timeless and timely

A well-paced narrative with carefully crafted twists...intensely visual descriptions... Inventive in its form and often profound in its poetry, Symmons Roberts' gripping story is a meditation on the difficulty of forgiveness in wartime

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
