Reviews for The End of the Day

Quietly devastating... A finely-wrought masterpiece... Clegg's unspooling of the central mystery is masterful - its contours hinted at but its nucleus unexpected. -- Francesca Carington * Sunday Telegraph *Novel of the Week* * Reading The End of the Day is like studying a stained-glass window up close, each piece bright and sharply cut, but when you step back and see it as a whole you discover a large, beautiful, mysterious work of art. -- David Ebershoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife A writer with a profound comprehension of emotional destruction, loss and redemption... Clegg is a gimlet-eyed observer and is masterly at deftly sucking in the readers as he fashions an emotional tsunami into a profound, mesmerizing description. -- Francesca Angelini * Sunday Times * Fabulously rich and compelling. * Daily Mail * [A] glorious novel. -- Helen Macdonald * Guardian *
