Critics Review
A finely-crafted novel of art, memory and migration - Independent - Lucy Scholes
Tearne’s training as a painter shows in the subtle descriptions that fill each page with lyrical power, and the beautiful detail that provides a respite from the emotional desolation each character struggles with. This could be devastating, but in Tearne’s skilled and sensitive hands the effect is softened, almost redemptive, making the novel a satisfying read - Independent on Sunday - Anna StopesTearne charts the patterns of love and loss with beautiful prose - Sunday Times - Francesca AngeliniBeautifully written and observed, a richly woven plot. Roma Tearne leads us seamlessly between the intensity of art, love in a warm climate, and acute human suffering - Jon Snow, Newscaster, Channel 4 NewsAbout The Author
