Summerwater

Sharp, searching, thoroughly imagined, it is utterly of the moment, placing its anxious human dots against a vast indifferent landscape; with its wit and verve and beautiful organisation it throws much contemporary writing into the shade!Hilary Mantel, Man Booker winning author of Wolf Hall

Nothing escapes her sly humour and brilliant touch. Deft and brimming with life, Summerwater is a novel of endless depth. A masterpiece.Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist

Moss’s ability to conjure up the fleeting and sometimes agonised tenderness of family life is unmatched . . . A great part of a novelist’s skill lies in the breadth of their sympathies and their ability to enter into the lives of people unlike themselves. Moss does this so naturally and comprehensively . . . there is an artfulness to her writing so accomplished as to conceal itself.Melissa Harrison, Guardian

Summerwater is a triumph and confirms Sarah Moss as one of the best writers at work in Britain today.Fiona Mozley, author of Elmet
