"A brilliant writer...funny, tragic, wise" -- Lynne Truss Independent "A warm, compelling read - and another brilliant showcase for Tyler's talent for taking a common experience and lifting it out of the ordinary" Daily Mirror "The meanings of this beautifully written novel reach far wider than Baltimore. I shed a tear as I finished the Antons' story" -- Paul Barker Evening Standard "Mesmerising" The Economist "Tyler's compelling, moving and often amusing tale is the story of any marriage - every page brings a smile of recognition to the reader" Daily Mail
