Wow, what a love story. Perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. Uplifting and full of heart, and I couldn't put it down!'

A wonderful, genuine, heart-warming, funny and beautifully written book . . . you will fall in love with Ellie and the Harp-Maker

Ellie and the Harp-Maker is a beautiful love song of a story, wonderfully told with a warm heart and much hope. Hazel Prior’s writing is a lyrical delight

A beautifully written tender love story.

I would say this book is so much more than "just a beach read" but to do so would completely miss the point! As January reminds the reader and the perfectly-painted Gus alike, romantic comedies take skill, heart and guts to traverse the depths of what it means to fall in love - and Emily Henry makes sure this book has it all

Beach Read has everything the title promises - a romping plot, family secrets, and the thrill of falling in love. I cannot wait to read what Henry writes next

What a fantastic read! An absolute page turner, full of love, laughter and romance

A nostalgic tale of devastating but enduring love.

Beautifully written and a joy to read.

Carefully formed, well-rounded and likeable, by the final pages I cared about Alison and Daniel as if they were my friends.

A wonderfully musical story about modern relationships and lost loves.

A beautiful story.

A masterpiece. The best book I’ve read for a long, long, time.

Will have you turning pages in a blur to find out what happens . . . A fast-paced, pulpy psychological thriller with Netflix written all over it

Praise for Nicola Moriarty

I devoured it, loved it and totally escaped into it

Compulsive

Entertaining

Darkly humorous

Dramatic, mysterious and compelling

Accelerates with intensity and sheer originality with every page

Will grab readers and refuse to let go. An author to watch

It kept me guessing to the end

A darkly droll page-turner

[An] accomplished debut….Twists push the story in intriguing directions, and the clever, personable voice of Jennifer is like that of a witty friend with a bad news/good news story to tell, resulting in a moving novel with a surprisingly playful edge.

This novel is going to provoke the most brilliant conversations around the water coolers!

Brilliantly funny and thought-provoking--an absolute joy.

Without doubt Melanie Cantor’s Death and Other Happy Endings should be at the top of your summer reading list. This book is full of life and hope...A rollicking page turner, it will stay with you long after you’ve closed its beautifully designed covers.

So readable - Melanie brings such humour to a usually tragic subject. It gallops along!

Tyler has succeeded once more in lifting up what so often passes unseen in our lives and celebrating it

Neatly observed, thoroughly well-meaning, sharply attuned

Anne Tyler… is a remarkable writer. You might say she is like a landscape painter who keeps returning to the same scene in different weathers… her stories hold your interest and please because they are rooted in her curiosity about the way we live, feel and think. She is a masterly examiner of the unexamined life

Full of insight and sympathy. It is also highly absorbing — partly because of Tyler’s evocative style (when Micah considers his past, he is “visited by a kind of translucent scarf of a memory floating down upon him”), but mostly because of the intimacy with which she depicts the workings of Micah’s heart and mind...a quiet revelation

In wonderful prose, Tyler drills deep into a very ordinary life, familiar struggles, and a quiet heroism

Anne Tyler's masterful new novel asks what it might take for an unhappy man to change his life... her longevity means that her work has become a record of a certain kind of America, especially of "the dailiness of women's lives", for the past half century.

A quiet and beautiful story about human relationships, written with intent observation, empathy and humour

A timely reminder of what matters: kindness and love

This gloriously warm novel felt heaven-sent when it appeared in deepest lockdown

A new book from this wonderful writer is always a joy... Tyler packs feeling and insight into every single sentence

I adored Redhead by the Side of the Road... It is so subtle, and so brilliant as are all Tyler's novels... Witty and warm, its only fault was that I wanted it to be twice as long!

Tender and beautifully paced

Compassionate and alert to the complexities in even the most ordinary lives, the book reminds us why, at 79, Tyler is held in such high regard

The qualities that have long won Tyler admiration and affection - wry humour, shrewd perception, characters who leap off the page with authenticity - are in generous supply

You can't go wrong with Anne Tyler. She makes it look easy creating characters that feel so believable, so three-dimensional

Tyler engrosses with the 'and-thenand-then' of domestic detail

I do think the world would probably be a better place if everyone read Anne Tyler . . . She's such a brilliantly empathetic writer - there's no 'them' and 'us' in Tyler's world - and she often writes from the perspective of the kind of people who you would walk past and barely notice in the street . . . Reading Tyler helps people to become better people, and I really fully believe that

Tyler's irresistibly readable 23rd novel follows Micah, a socially inept, OCD-ish IT man whose orderly life is turned upside down by the arrival of a son

Tyler's affectionate and quietly observant novel reveals her deep empathy for the hidden struggles of everyday lives

Another shrewd yet kindly novel about the mysterious business of family life by one of the world's great writers

A charmingly offbeat love story

Bursting with vitality and variety, it's a tour de force . . . fizzes with the qualities – characters who almost leap off the page with authenticity, speech and body language wonderfully caught – that, for more than half a century, have won her such admiration and affection

One of the most influential writers of her generation . . . Her books are so irresistibly readable that it's startling to realise what technical marvels they often are

Chuck envy, illicit passion and financial pressures into the pot and soon this carefully constructed broth is simmering to the boil

Funny, clever and hilarious and the rest, an epic tale of an epic family, the Caseys

A wonderful story, filled with heartbreak, empathy and Keyes's trademark humour . . . You'll laugh, cry, and might even have your heart broken, but it's definitely worth it

A funny and thoughtful read

Her writing just gets better and better . . . Grown Ups is funny and clever in the way it tackles addiction and eating disorders and the hurly burly of family life

A sharp satire of family dynamics and the trappings of wealth. It is a delicious thing - light and dark at once, full of acid observations and warmth, and fully attuned to the absurdities of familial life

An entertaining story of family dynamics packed with vibrant characters, humour and empathy

A sharp, wry tale about a seemingly happy family with contemporary problems . . . despite the traumas, you'll whizz through it with a smile on your face

Keyes's captivating 14th novel tackles difficult issues with a sparkling style that makes it impossible to put down

Marian Keyes is the most wonderful writer. She just gets better and better. She is a writer who believes in the best of us. She shows people's foibles but she also shows the love that binds us together in a very real way

Her novels tackle hard subjects with such humour and warmth its impossible not to be drawn in

Another high-definition family comedy. An intoxicating, effervescent and warm look at modern life

A delightful and insightful examination of the modern family

Laughter and tears intertwine, as ever, in the latest from our leading chronicler of the emotional messiness of contemporary life

The strength of this book lies in its relatability factor - I laughed, cried, nodded in recognition and laughed again

Shines a light on the frustrations and gripes of family life, while inviting us to laugh at the petty reality of it all

A book to fall into and while away hours with

Funny, thought-provoking and hitting you right in the feels, Marian Keyes does it again

I loved this complex family drama . . . Keyes nails every character she touches while keeping it all so relevant

Mercilessly funny

Keyes is an international treasure. The ultimate choice for a binge read

When it comes to writing page-turners that put a smile on your face and make you think, Keyes is in a class of her own

Fabulously entertaining. The queen of intelligent women's fiction

Full of darkness and light, this is Keyes at her classic and most brilliant best

Keyes writes about women who are absolutely themselves, even when society tries to insist they are something else
