"Deliberate in pace and carefully insightful in its investigation of character, Chamber's latest is a work of art that repays multiple readings" -- Michael Cart Booklist "Packed to the brim with challenging ideas, the latest from Chambers is simultaneously an acutely observed and surprising love story. An organic yet intricately crafted story of self-discovery ... This is a generous gift" Publishers Weekly "This is a teasingly provocative and touching cross-generational story, written with a rare candour about love, sex, thoughts of suicide and growing old" -- Julia Eccleshare Guardian "Chambers is so skilled, so calmly truthful in his writing. What emerges is not just a moving, unexpected story of the complexity of teenagers, but also a story of later life, of ageing and loss, and what experience really means" -- Patrick Ness Guardian "It takes a writer with the superb skill and sensitivity of Chambers to adapt the Cyrano de Bergerac story and turn it into a modern tale of grief, growth and acceptance ... Great tenderness, authentic dialogue and elegantly crafted plotting. A book to be read and re-read" -- Sally Morris Daily Mail
