About The Author

Amanda Eyre Ward is the author of the critically acclaimed and award-winning novel Sleep Toward Heaven. The New York Post named Ward one of five Writers to Watch in 2003.

'I read Amanda Eyre Ward's lovely How To Be Lost after a warm recommendation from a friend…it has that lovely tone that only American women writers seem to be able to achieve: melancholic, wry, apparently (but only apparently) artless, perched on the balls of its feet and ready to jump either towards humour or heartbreak, with no run-up and no effort. How To Be Lost has a great setup, too.' Nick Hornby

Other text

'The narrative is so engrossing, so propelling, you're surprised to come upon the last page…a damn good story.'
