‘Every sentence Ford writes, illuminates...His prose is strong, clear and satisfying, resonant with the bleak rhythms of unrewarded lives’ -- Sunday Times
‘Ford is a masterful writer’ -- Raymond Carver
‘Ford’s book observes the human animal with friendship, understanding, and an almost clinical detachment’ -- Independent on Sunday
‘This is proper storytelling, lean and taut. And it is real, grown-up life. Ford captures perfectly the loneliness that can only be had in families’ -- New Statesman
