Review:
''Then' is a bold, uncompromising book that marks out Myerson as a truly interesting and risk-taking author...Myerson's cleverness lies in her supremely confident ability to play with stucture, drip-feeding us snippets of memory yet never losing pace along the way...The careful, intriguing plotting ensures that the eventual conclusion is both disturbing and moving. Myerson's use of language, too, is striking: her sentences are sparsely poetic and she is able to convey layers of meaning through the use of a single, tellling detail which juxtaposes the mundane with the inconceivable...'Then' is not an easy read, but it is a grippingly good one' --Observer

'Myerson's new work is a novel, her eight, and the uncontrollable place that her imagination springs from is given full rein. 'Then' is a devastatingly dark story, and the hypnotic quality of its writing, and the searing vision it lays before us, certainly appear to have sprung from a deep and frightening source...It is tempting to read the terrifying landscape in which 'Then' unfolds as a mental map, an inner hell of emotional torment that any woman found wanting as a wife and mother must face. Yet it is more than that: it is also a portrait of the primitive realities of family life, and the need above all to protect what matters most. 'Then' may have been written from a source beyond Myerson's control, but it will chime with anyone who has inflicted hurt, wittingly or not. Most of us, in other words.' --Sunday Herald

'One of the starkest yet most elegant descriptions of a parent's ultimate and most terrible dilemma attempted by a writer in recent years. It is written as if through a cascade of tears. Throughout this book, Myerson demonstrates once again her masterful ability to convey the fragility of a society that can be so easily and completely broken.'

'Julie Myerson offers a haunting twist on Armageddon... A chillingly persuasive vision of emotional hell' --Financial Times

'Myerson displays a deft touch at providing the reader with telling, troubling details, clues to what might have happened. Unremittingly bleak, Then is a novel about memory as a woman tries to piece together the fragments of her past' --Metro

'Beautifully written, mesmeric and haunting' --Psychologies Magazine

`This is writing that takes the breath away and a book that describes a descent into hell. Be warned: the ending is absolutely agonising. The last sentence breathtaking. I cannot praise this staggeringly accomplished work highly enough.' --Sunday Express
Book Description:
An astonishing, apocalyptic new novel, from the author of Something Might Happen
