Reviews

If ever there were to be a literary love child of Jonathan Franzen and Anne Tyler, then Claire Lombardo's outstanding debut, which ranges from ebullience to despair by way of caustic but intense familial bonds, would be a worthy offspring...This is a novel epic in scope-emotionally, psychologically and narratively. Combining a broad thematic canvas with impressive emotional nuance, it's an assured and highly enjoyable debut. - GUARDIANA rich, engrossing family saga, spiked with sisterly malice...[rendered] with such skill and finely tuned interest that it feels like a quiet subversion of the traditional family saga. - The New York Times Book ReviewThe big family saga of the summer - EWA sharp, sly family story of feminine guile and guilt...A fun and brimming tale...Divine - KirkusAn expansive U.S. family saga, expertly rendered - Daily MailLombardo has a wry, often spiky humour and tightly written style that should appeal to fans of Maria Semple, Emma Straub and Jennifer Egan ... A moving, immersive, often very funny study of family and sisterhood. - Sunday TimesA spry, sly and funny read - Sunday ExpressA funny, complex, tragic and immersive family sage which spans forty years. This is the perfect, engrossing holiday read - Red
