Critics Review

Praise for David Nicholls

Such a beautiful book. Captures perfectly a moment in time we’ve all experienced.

It’s just perfect in every way.

It’s everything a story should be. Beautiful and clear and heartfelt, and it will do what all brilliant stories do: it will find the very pinpoint of who you are and it will stay there.

Astutely observed, and almost painfully nostalgic, SWEET SORROW reads like a true story.

Nicholls’ literary talents are impressive … the sense of nostalgia is visceral and intense, almost time-bending. - The Sunday Times

He’s such a genius. His novels are relatable and recognizable, but also surprising, breath-taking and life-enhancing

Poignant and insightful - Independent

A big-hearted book with wonderful set-pieces … beautifully funny and touching … his books always seem as fresh as they are wise and funny. - Literary Review
