It's beautifully written -- Victoria Hislop * Good Housekeeping * A very smart, soulful, compelling, elegantly written domestic novel -- Nick Hornby * Observer * Francesca Segal is incisive on modern lives, penetrating and thoughtful - and yet always joyfully entertaining and stylishly readable. * Naomi Alderman * Segal's wit and intelligence are entirely her own and the moral dilemmas of her characters could not be more modern... Segal has a superb eye for the lies that the middle-aged lovers tell themselves, and they are jolted back to reality when it all goes spectacularly wrong. It is nearly a tragedy, but not quite; she's just too funny -- Kate Saunders * The Times * Elegant... an entertaining look at the messy business of trying to be in a family in emotionally trying circumstances... Irresistible -- Eithne Farry * Mail on Sunday *
