Critics Review
‘Tender takes on friendship, memory and storytelling. An arresting debut’
Mail on Sunday
‘In the tradition of Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Meg Charlton’s Voyagers is a finely written and propulsive novel about the enduring power of friendship. It takes on big issues: the reliability of memory, the price of childhood fame, the ways adults use children for their own purposes. It’s also a book about aliens, geared for terrestrials. Which is to say it’s complex and human, anchored by a beating heart’
Joshua Henkin
‘A meditative, intriguing debut’
Financial Times
‘In Voyagers, Meg Charlton explores the connections between memory, storytelling, and truth. Against the backdrop of a global crisis, her characters contend with the lasting pain and confusion of a personal crisis. This novel grapples with the possibility of extraterrestrial life, but even more so with the possibility of friendship that is generous and forgiving. A delightful and moving debut’
Helen Phillips, author of Hum and The Need
‘Voyagers is a tender sweeping epic about the quest for the self. Meg Charlton asks, in elegant and compelling prose: ‘Can we escape the terrible events of our past or make of them what we will? And what happens to intimacy when we share a past but remember it differently?’. At its heart, Voyagers is a story about storytelling – how it tears us apart and might bring us back together again’
