Review
Maggie O'Farrell brilliantly reveals how the past has an untidy habit of cluttering up the present in this compulsively readable tale of star-crossed lovers and secretive siblings * Elle * A well paced read that slowly and tantalisingly unravels a web of mysteries, tragedies and intrigue, keeping you hooked * Eve * Maggie O'Farrell has written three novels, each of them a critical and commercial success * FT * Every bit as good, if not better, than her highly acclaimed previous novels. An intriguing plot, sympathetic characterisation and beautifully observed, sophisticated writing all make for a hugely satisfying read * Booksellers' Choice *
