Produktbeschreibung

AS HEARD ON FRONT ROW - a resonant and provocative novel. 'Astonishing' Stephanie Merritt, Observer 'Very, very funny' PAUL MURRAY 'My favourite book I've read this year' PANDORA SYKES 'Intense, furious, moving and often extremely funny' DAVID NICHOLS In her wildly acclaimed new novel Claire Kilroy creates an unforgettable heroine, whose fierce love for her young son clashes with the seismic change to her own identity. As her marriage strains and she struggles with questions of love, autonomy, creativity and the passing of time, an old friend makes a welcome return - but can he really offer a lifeline to the woman she used to be? Readers adore Soldier Sailor: ***** 'Unbearably tense and frequently hilarious.' ***** 'An entirely different voltage to anything I've read. . . she somehow manages to verbalise *exactly* the feelings and thoughts I, certainly, had at points when I was a young mother' ***** 'This story touched me on such a visceral level.' ***** 'I was held captive by this novel. . . an utterly absorbing depiction of motherhood' ***** 'I loved this book. Any woman, with or without children, will see themselves mirrored in this narrative' ***** 'An excellent, interesting and rather unforgettable creation.'
