Critics Review
PRAISE FOR ABSOLUTELY AND FOREVER: ‘Stunningly beautiful and deeply moving’
- Simon Schama * A slim, funny, elegantly breezy coming-of-age story * Sunday Times * Written with piercing clarity and gentle humour, Absolutely And Forever is a study of the messiness of human relationships, the significance of secrets unspoken and the impact of the choices we make * Independent * This is a book about the comic, painful, life-long search for human understanding. Not a word is wasted; not a phrase trite. It is mesmerising, masterly and profoundly moving * Financial Times * [A] delicate, generous-hearted novel * Spectator *
