‘A haunting, tragi-comic, and incredibly moving inquiry into the landscapes and the people that define us; the parts of life that make no sense; and the things that, against all odds, keep us alive … essential reading, a smart and wise companion for turbulent times’ Laura van den Berg, author of The Third Hotel

‘Piercing and distilled, a masterpiece in vulnerability and performance. A Truce That Is Not Peace is a stunner’ Hannah Pittard, author of We Are Too Many
