A lush, flowing, elegant novel, Every Day, Every Hour shows a world where love is stronger than will

Croatian-born Nataša Dragnic’s debut novel, Every Day, Every Hour, beautifully translated from the German by Liesl Schillinger, takes its name from lines of the Pablo Neruda poem 'If You Forget Me'. It’s a fitting title for this passionate, decades-spanning tale of star-crossed lovers

Luka and Dora are made for one another. But they can't seem to get together. A beautifully tragic love

Who is it for? For anyone who wants a poetic love story which heralds the summer

You can sense every second that they are soul mates... It is extremely rare that you find such a beautiful and romantic love story which is wonderfully narrated and not at all corny. A real discovery

Nataša Dragnic has woven a seemingly simple but also serious and deeply moving love story. Readers will find it hard to put this gripping story down, the flowing style, the surprise twists, the protagonists themselves and their entanglement will keep you enthralled until the last lines... It is not kitsch, over-the-top or shallow but lively and colourful. A perfect book for your holiday suitcase or for a weekend at home alone

This is the book that is wowing everyone - I too immediately fell for the love story between Dora and Luka, who are meant for each other but manage to mess it up so completely

Natasa Dragnic’s tumbling prose has a delightful immediacy and freshness… Deft and confident

Dragnic’s prose is energetic and sparkling and carries you swiftly through a roller-coaster of emotions

Charming and quirky

What Vann does so well is to take recognisably ordinary characters and put them in critical situations, where tiny decisions or actions have life-altering outcomes. This is what gives his books their nightmarish quality -- the feeling that these events could happen to anyone.

I found it impossible to put down. I read it over a couple of rushed afternoons and found myself gasping for air…Days later I still couldn’t get Galen’s voice – that distinctive blend of mocking, vulnerable and cruel – out of my head…It [Dirt] is both brilliant and painful; comic and disturbing; full of despair about humanity and moments of warmth; deranged and beautifully executed.

Vann's writing is vivid and shocking, and his imagination is extraordinary.

Vann presents us with a pitch perfect rendering of the everyday problems of family life, while simultaneously depicting an outlandish and horrifying battle between son, mother and aunt.
