Heartbreaking, funny and written with such luminous prose - he's the most brilliant, and neglected, of English writers

Will leave you with pains in your cheeks from laughing

Side-achingly funny

Ross at his best: razor sharp, magnificently plotted and an utter joy to read

While the writing is as sharp and LOL funny as ever, Ross's complicated relationships ... are movingly explored. The closing pages had this reviewer in tears - and, for once, they weren't of helpless laughter

Imbued with heartbreak, grace and humour, this novel made me walk taller for days.

One True Thing is a book about the very nature of love... and insight into the workings of the heart is what Anna Quindlen is so good at

Witty, profound... exhilarating

Fiercely compassionate and frank... conveys a world so out of kilter and so like ours that its readers are likely to feel both exhilarated and unnerved by its accuracy.

Provocative... we leave One True Thing stimulated and challenged, more thoughtful than when we began.
