Thoroughly satisfying
Time Out
The remarkable thing about this novel is its resemblance to real life. Russo creates a family that is utterly recognisable and unique... superb
The Times
Russo brings a familiar story to life with wit, elegance, deftness and empathy
Sunday Times
Russo meditates on memory, ageing, inheritance, marriage, desire and the meaning of happiness... Written with humour and assurance
Guardian
Russo has a knack for capturing the most intimate details in the lives of ordinary people
Chicago Tribune
A novel for people who are terrified of becoming their parents... A dyspeptic romantic comedy... [And] an utterly charming novel. If you always cry at weddings, you'll cry at this - and laugh, too
Washington Post
Nobody tops Russo for nailing the self-aggrandising sourness of a certain class of American intelligentsia. Hollywood agents should be on standby
Alfred Hickling, Guardian
Russo's well-scripted story of mid-life crisis breezily captures the moment when everything was predictable and yet somehow you failed to see it coming
