| Review Quote | [A] beautifully observed heart-wringer… for me there was no better novel published in 2022. |
| Other text | There can be no doubt he's one of our best novelists…Dealing sensitively with love, ambition and duty – not to mention the bodily experience of womanhood, from youth to late middle age…absolutely not to be missed. |
