A novel that fizzes with repartee and off kilter cleverness
Daily Mail
A talent that is as rare and strange as a kestrel on Oxford Street
The Sunday Times
Nell Zink is a writer of extraordinary talent and range. Her work insistently raises the possibility that the world is larger and stranger than the world you think you know
Jonathan Franzen
Sophisticated and rambunctiously comic, this is a worldly hangout novel of twenty-first century manners
Vogue, Best Books of 2025
The work of an author with a fiercely original and empathetic voice. One leaves the book wanting more of it.
Washington Post
This is a one-of-a-kind writer
Elle
Zink has instantly become one of the most unusual, refreshing voices in contemporary fiction. Her work is completely unfettered by genteel literary conventions and replete with robust storytelling . . .
Slate
Zink is an audacious writer . . . she always creates vibrant, off-kilter worlds for her characters to inhabit
The Times
Sister Europe assembles a motley crew of disconnected dinner party guests to explore a whole society’s hypocrisies. Unsparingly honest on the wealthy ex-pat and the professional artist, this novel feels like a big new swing from a thrilling stylist.
Lit Hub, Best Books of 2025
Searingly quick, revelatory and funny. Sister Europe is so ambitious and ethically interested that it makes it clear that Zink is one of our most important contemporary writers
Guardian
Zink’s new novel unleashes a motley crew of characters on an unexpected nocturnal journey through the city, painting a vivid picture of a continent at a critical moment
Financial Times, What to Read in 2025
Zink’s prose is an always fascinating instrument, one as flitting and amorphous as the attention span of her characters . . . Her sentences can stun, perfectly nailing a situation or emotion
The Spectator
