Sandwich

Newman’s second work of fiction confirms her as a writer with a sharp ear for dialogue, astute emotional insight, and an infectious sense of humour. A gem of a novel.

Observer

If you want to laugh out loud, tear up and rush to pull out a book in the 35 seconds between subway stops, this sweet, savory, tenderhearted Sandwich fits the bill, and goes down like (bread and) buttah.

New York Times

Sandwich is joy in book form. I laughed continuously, except for the parts that made me cry. Catherine Newman does a miraculous job reminding us of all the wonder there is to be found in life.

Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake

The last book that really made me laugh. I loved it.

Liane Moriarty

Funny, wise, poignant and beautifully written

Nina Stibbe, author of Love, Nina

A piece of perfection… Family, love, secrets, a marriage that is ordinary, imperfect, sexy and beautiful… I laughed, I cried and I laughed some more… a wonderful book about how families love, disagree, fail one another - and endure.

Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

I adored this novel and am forcing it on everyone I know

Jenny Colgan, author of The Summer Skies

Catherine Newman is basically a national treasure at this point… so it’s not surprising that her new hilarious, deeply moving, gorgeously plotted, beautifully written, slyly subversive new novel, Sandwich, hit me like a ton of bricks…. a novel written from a place of wonder and love

Joanna Rakoff, NYT bestselling author of My Salinger Year

Engaging, frank, funny and moving and fearlessly explores middle age’s many challenges. In every sense the hot summer read.
