Spectacular, heartbreaking, beautifully written. Rosamund's story is one of the most extraordinary and compelling you will ever read. Impossible to put down, I loved every minute of it * Sunday Express * Entirely compelling . . . the plot will keep you rapt . . . reminiscent of Ian McEwan at his most effective * New Statesman * A sad, often very moving story of mothers and daughters * Guardian * A hauntingly melancholy tale of love and loss...a moving exploration of the inheritance of unhappiness, and the devestating consequences it can have for future generations * Daily Mail * Potent and melancholy, like a short, sad song * Guardian * A male writer who can enter such traditionally female territory and aquit himself with such aplomb * Sunday Telegraph *
