Critic Reviews:

"A bright book about dark subjects: a tale about kindness and its limits, told with love, nominated for the Costa First Novel Award

"With wit and zest, Clanchy creates social comedy out of teeth-clenching situations Clanchys trenchant, often very funny prose also shimmers with sensual pleasures" (Guardian)

"Meeting the English>feels like an updated Iris Murdoch novel, with sharper haircuts and more Laura Ashley furnishings." (Independent on Sunday)

Members Reviews:

Terrific

Thought provoking beautifully written page turner. Racing through to see what would happen, I was looking forward to reading it again for all the issues and themes

Enjoyable read.

A very enjoyable, easy read. Not haha funny, but shy humor and lovable characters, with insight into ordinary behavior.

Hampstead plus+

Brilliantly told, loved every minute of it. What a joy. Was devasted when it came to an end, all too quickly.

Terrific and original novel

Good character-driven novel. Interesting, unexpected but believable characters, with good character development. Funny and true. I liked the setting, too.

Five Stars
