LOVED it! Warm and humane, funny and sad, with a great, twisty
plot, Seven Days of Us is absolute pleasure reading from beginning
to end. Francesca Hornak is a true talent. Just gorgeous!
*Marian Keyes*
Compassionate, witty and wise
*Saskia Sarginson, bestelling author of The Twins*
Touching, funny, emotionally intelligent, Seven Days of Us is pure
pleasure from beginning to end. It's stylishly written and totally
engrossing. I really, really loved it
*Adele Geras*
It's a cliché to say this book is a rollercoaster but the sun came
up and the sun went down, people cried for help, and the bath
overflowed, and I couldn't move, captivated by this extraordinary
page-turner. The plot is compulsive and doesn't let up till the
very last chapter. It has more twists and turns than Hampton Court
Maze and yet Francesca Hornak guides one through it all with a
confident hand until one puts it down, exhausted but exhilarated by
such a rollicking good read. Terrific
*Virginia Ironside*
An engrossing and funny study of a middle-class British family in
crisis. I loved it!
*Keith Stuart, bestselling author of A Boy Made of Blocks*
Hornak's first novel is a farcical gem, perfect for fans of Matthew
Norman and Emma Straub. Alternately tender and razor-sharp, Seven
Days of Us will resonate with anyone who regresses the minute they
step inside their childhood home
*Booklist starred review*
Warm hearted, witty and wise, Seven Days Of Us is hugely
entertaining
*Saskia Sarginson, bestselling author of The Twins*
An emotional but ultimately uplifting holiday story
*Kirkus Review*
Gripping, powerfully emotional and life-affirming. I read it in one
sitting!
*Bestselling author Maeve Haran*
Absorbing, insightful and immensely enjoyable
*Laura Barnett, bestselling author of The Versions of Us*
I loved this comic drama . . . the plot is genius . . . and the
results are hilarious and touching
*Daily Mail*
Sharply observed by Hornak's satirical eye, this has 'Working Title
film deal' written all over it
*Glamour*
'Witty and deeply heartfelt'
*Bestselling author Emily Griffin*
A humorous and heartwarming page-turner
*Belfast Telegraph*
One of the best books of the year
*Hello!*
Seven Days of Us expertly captures the joys and the tensions of
spending any time with those who know you best. It thoroughly
deserves to be this year's big Christmas hit
*The i*
This book is heartwarming and gloriously funny, anyone who spends
the Christmas period with their family will be able to relate
hugely to this novel. Thank god it's happening to the characters
and not to you!
*Doncaster Free Press*
With its wry observations on class, family, and veddy-British
traditions, Francesca Hornak's absorbing debut sparkles with glints
of Nancy Mitford and Julian Fellowes
*Stephanie Clifford, New York Times bestselling author of
Everybody Rise*
