"So beautiful that it makes your head hurt." --Independent "This is a bold, cinematic novel...Parts of it are terrifically funny." --Herald "A genuinely stirring love story." --Mail on Sunday "Deeply affecting...Serious Sweet portrays intense lives of quiet desperation: it is a novel about hope and muted courage and, at the end of the day, a very tentatively experienced optimism." --Observer "With sometimes battering extremes of emotion and pain that ranges from personal injury to corrosive political nastiness, Kennedy's urban odyssey offers an unusual and often powerful love story." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
