Reviews

"Too often the best European literature doesn't reach this island; here we have a little consolation"
*Waterstone's Books Quarterly*

"An absorbing tale... a gripping story that gallops along with un-put-downable speed"
*Mslexia*

"Despite an awkward start, it makes an uncomplicated, easily digestible, cheering read: so it's perhaps unsurprising that it became the best-selling French novel of 2008, moving over half a million copies and being translated into 32 languages"
*Independent*

"It is a confident author who works with a large cast of characters, and in many instances - notably the children - Gavalda nails it"
*The Scotsman*

"Gavalda's touching writing makes what could have been a melancholy text into a beautifully insightful novel."
*Living France*
