A masterful dissection of romantic love ... This novel is still revealing new unexpected depths until the final page * Sunday Independent * Incredibly beautiful, aching; it feels like it's being whispered to me. The story unfolds so naturally in prose at once delicate and powerful, hypnotic. Gorgeous. * Donal Ryan * Fannin writes with acute insight on loss, grief, and the ways in which time fold in our lives ... We are not long into 2020, but Fannin's novel is already likely to be a serious contender for one of the books of the year * Sunday Times * Beautiful and painful, exquisitely written, shot through with nostalgia for our earlier selves. * Marian Keyes * This is heartache for grown ups. The Weight of Love pulls you in and does not let go. * Anne Enright *
