'The aspects of this debut novel I loved most were everything it
did with and said about our phones and the internet, one particular
conversational set piece about feminism, and its Abruzzo (and
Melbourne) setting... Beech's prose is beautiful, and this debut is
one to look forward to' Jaclyn Crupi
'This debut novel-written by Isobel Beech, former senior culture
writer at VICE-reads very much like a traditional grief memoir,
with its subtle and astute insights into the complexities of the
grieving process and use of second person to address the narrator's
father. As a novel, however, it is also able to touch on larger
cultural subjects, such as the #MeToo movement, white male
privilege and social media dependence...[Beech] fuses the sadness
and absurdity of life and death through powerful prose and just a
touch of dark humour.' Bookseller & Publisher
