Editorial Reviews
Review
'I savored every second of this deeply satisfying book. Amanda Brookfield goes from strength to strength. Her best yet. Treat yourself' -- Patricia Scanlan 'The novel walks a line between comedy and wrenching sadness. It is fluently written and its depiction of domestic chaos and a man's bewilderment when unexpectedly faced with a young son's needs is all too recognisable' -- Elizabeth Buchan, The Sunday Times on A Family Man 'Superb in its minute observation' -- Northern Echo on The Lover 'Witty and engaging' -- Family Circle on Single Lives 'Brookfield has a true gift of narrative that draws the reader into the world she is painting... Unusually, she manages to make the reader care about the characters who are all realistic' -- The Magazine on A Family Man 'Perceptive and very readable' -- The Times on Walls of Glass 'Brookfield skilfully illuminates the relationships, dilemmas and compromises that define so many lifes' -- Sunday Express
