What They're Saying
Critics Review
Leaves its traces in the air long after you’ve put it away * Anne Tyler *A complex tapestry of great subtlety. Lively writes so well, savouring the words as she goes * Daily Telegraph *Very clever: evocative, thought-provoking and hangs on the mind long after it is finished * Literary Review *Lively’s ability to bring her character and the world she inhabits into full technicolour is beautiful. This is a unique book about a fascinating unpredictable woman way ahead of her time and yet absolutely of her time * Lemn Sissay *One of Britain’s most celebrated novelists. Moon Tiger’s multiple, shifting viewpoints weaves an eloquent disquisition on memory, identity, age, love and regret * Financial Times *Atmospheric, inventive. Few books I’ve read recently have given me so much pleasure * Sam Jordison, Guardian *
