‘There are so many things to talk about and praise in Gail Godwin’s big new novel… the amazing vividness of its characters and the sense one gets that their lives are actually unfolding in the same world as yours’ New York Times

‘Spacious, populous and true to the reader’s own experience, it is a novel to live with and live in’ Newsday
