Review:
"Heather Clay is a graceful and assured new writer with a great gift for character: the people in her fiction are as complex, beautiful and real as they are in life. Losing Charlotte is a spellbinding first novel." (Lauren Groff, author of THE MONSTERS OF TEMPLETON)
"The family in this novel is so vividly imagined that I am still thinking of them: not as characters but as real people, recent companions of mine who have been through a lot, and for whom I wish serenity and in time joy. Losing Charlotte marks the debut of a very gifted young writer." (Ann Packer, author of SONGS WITHOUT WORDS)
"A moving debut from a writer of powerful descriptive range" (Daily Mail)
