Thrilling,
transporting,
delicately realised and held together by
a sophisticated sense of suspense . . .
more than matches the power of Fuller's debut . . .
Powerful ,
pleasing and
pleasurable. * Sunday Times *
A compelling portrait of a complicated, unconventional marriage, and of flawed humanity, with all its secrets, silences and deceits. Excellent.
* Mail on Sunday *
It's the
sharp eye for detail, sometimes bizarre, that
makes her writing stand out . . . A story
suffused with the
poignancy of miscommunication between people who love each other, of the
things we can never really know. * Guardian *
Claire Fuller has
captured love in its fullest form, nursed on
betrayal and
regret and
guilt . . .
Swimming Lessons is
so smoothly,
beautifully written, and the human failures here are
heartbreaking. * David Vann *
Bewitching and
page-turning . . . an
extraordinarily smart and
satisfying read. * Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife *
With
Swimming Lessons, Fuller confirms herself as
a writer of emotional depth, technical skill and
sensitive plotting . . . What Fuller
evokes beautifully are the
complicated dynamics between fathers and daughters, sisters, lovers, friends * Observer *
A
deeply moving read, with
a mystery that keeps you turning pages * Oprah.com *
Evocative,
immersive * Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal *
Extraordinary...From the opening sentence it is
gripping...Fuller writes with
a singing simplicity that finds
beauty amid the
terror...
might well have you crying out for more. * Sunday Times on Our Endless Numbered Days *
Bewitching...a
rivetingly dark tale...
spellbinding. * Sunday Express on Our Endless Numbered Days *
Fuller handles the tension
masterfully in this
grown-up thriller of a fairytale, full of
clues,
questions and
intrigue. * The Times on Our Endless Numbered Days *
Fuller's
twisted tale is
compulsive, treading the fine line between
charming and
sinister. With its
disturbing twist,
Our Endless Numbered Days could well become a classic. * Stylist, 'Book Wars' on Our Endless Numbered Days *
Rewardingly unsettling...as warped and sinister as any Brothers Grimm fairytale, this
tautly written, tense novel is
brilliant at evoking both the
bewitching beauty of its setting - and its inherent dangers...
haunting,
suspenseful and
deftly written...
memorably chilling. * Metro on Our Endless Numbered Days *
A debut novel that brings to mind such unlikely bedfellows as
Thoreau's Walden and
Emma Donoghue's Room...
gripping. * Guardian on Our Endless Numbered Days *
