‘One of those rare novels that will burrow right inside your heart and nestle there forever… I cried more tears over the tragedy and love rendered in this story than I think I ever have in a novel. Dementia is a difficult subject, but Jones handles it with perfection, never sentimental or patronising, but with a raw, emotional truth.’ Louise Fein, author of People Like Us

‘What a beautiful book… A poignant and heartbreaking tale, but it has an ending that will leave you feeling incredibly uplifted and joyous.’ Kate Galley, author of Odd Girls Behaving Badly‘Beautifully written with unforgettable characters, The Everyday and Faraway is an intricately layered novel about family, love and the power of memory. I couldn’t put it down.’ Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me
