The TimesHer strongest yet... a powerful, beautiful novel that shows us our land as it really is: a place of shelter and cruelty, innocence and experience
The Sunday TelegraphDark, brilliantly observed and ultimately a tale of love winning the day.
Tracy Chevalier, author of 'A Single Thread'An intriguing, moving novel that will make you question assumptions you have about modern life
Daily MailSuperb...deservedly longlisted for this year's Women's Prize for Fiction
Lucy Tan, author of What We Were PromisedA moving portrait of a family struggling against time. This book is ultimately about redemption-about the unexpected importance of neighbours, lovers, and friends, and the ways in which we can re-envision our lives for the better
Lauren Groff, author of 'Fates and Furies'So sharply, so utterly brilliant that I found myself holding my breath while reading it, dazzled by Fuller's mastery and precision.
The GuardianWith sensitivity and intelligence, Fuller unpicks the relentless complexity of the modern world
Elizabeth Day, author of Magpie'The way she writes (with empathy but never sentimentality) moves my heart'
The Sunday TimesFuller is excellent at description, and capturing the twins' awkward interactions with the world. The fate of the illiterate and weak-hearted Jeanie once she loses everything that is safe is particularly unsettling
Richard CurtisIt's merciless in its observation of casual cruelty and merciful in its observation of casual kindness and family love
