Her strongest yet... a powerful, beautiful novel that shows us our land as it really is: a place of shelter and cruelty, innocence and experienceThe Times
Dark, brilliantly observed and ultimately a tale of love winning the day.The Sunday Telegraph
An intriguing, moving novel that will make you question assumptions you have about modern lifeTracy Chevalier, author of 'A Single Thread'
Superb...deservedly longlisted for this year's Women's Prize for FictionDaily Mail
A 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 betterLucy Tan, author of What We Were Promised
So sharply, so utterly brilliant that I found myself holding my breath while reading it, dazzled by Fuller's mastery and precision.Lauren Groff, author of 'Fates and Furies'
With sensitivity and intelligence, Fuller unpicks the relentless complexity of the modern worldThe Guardian
'The way she writes (with empathy but never sentimentality) moves my heart'Elizabeth Day, author of Magpie
Fuller 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 unsettlingThe Sunday Times
It's merciless in its observation of casual cruelty and merciful in its observation of casual kindness and family loveRichard Curtis
