Maybe the best prison novel ever

The best thriller since The Silence of the Lambs

Savage, detailed, engrossing and guaranteed to leave a great livid bruise

A razor-sharp critique of the absurd expectations that, these days, have come to stand for ambition, "All We Ever Wanted Was Everything" is wrenching, riveting, and still manages to be great fun. This is a wise, intimate chronicle of one family's struggle to take off their masks and live in the place they most feared: the real, imperfect world

Rarely does a first novelist write with such confidence and grace. 'All We Ever Wanted Was Everything' is a marvelous book

Hill's taut prose exudes a constant darkness... you are left unsettled and haunted by the seeming inevitability of their troubled lives

Taut, tense story, written with that unsparing economy which is such a feature of Hill's recent fiction

The versatile Hill tells a perfectly judged story of people living hard, narrow lives

So well-written, so deeply imagined, that the reader will find delight even in the encircling gloom. Love may not conquer all, but Art can

[Hill] does what all good writers must set out to do: she made me read until I had the answer

Hill’s sparse style provides the perfect medium for exploring this family’s predicament

Hill does a wonderful job of evoking life in this enclosed community

A masterpiece of economy and control
