Full of melancholy wit, it’s sure to beguile fans of Nick Hornby.
Full of melancholy wit, it’s sure to beguile fans of Nick Hornby. – Hephzibah Anderson * Mail on Sunday *A quirky, well-written romance cum mystery tale. – Sebastian Shakespeare * Tatler *Coleman imbues his writing with a dry wit that enlivens the everyday, and with pithy character descriptions. * Independent on Sunday *Sharp, witty and beautifully written, it only takes moments to fall head first into the beautiful style of Pillow Man. * We Love This Book *A raw account of the male emotional landscape. – Liza Hoggard * Independent *Nick Coleman has a wonderful feel for the sights, sounds and stenches of modern London, and an extraordinary talent for making prosaic things poetic. – Kate Saunders * Saga Magazine *A tender, thoughtful first novel about love, death - and the appeal of fresh, crisp Egyptian cotton bed sheets. * Daily Mail *Nick Coleman makes his fiction debut with an enjoyably offbeat romance set in modern London – 4 stars * Metro *It’s a beautifully written, thoroughly modern and witty exploration of love, relationships and getting older, with no sign of cheesiness or sentimentality. * UK Press Syndication *
