"An emotionally intelligent, brilliantly plotted and beautifully written examination of a very modern family that will keep you gripped until the end." Daily Mail, Books of the Year "Something of a moral fable about modern relationships, this is a smart and enjoyable story" Sunday Mirror "A moving read from one of our fave authors" Fabulous Mag, Sun on Sunday "The narrative dips back and forth with various points of view from stunningly drawn characters and I devoured it in one long sitting.
