Reviews

An extraordinarily humane work...I Refuse will lodge in the heart and remain there -- Eileen Battersby Irish Times A poignant, melancholic novel about the bonds forged and broken between friends and family members -- Lucy Scholes Independent Relentless, often shocking, but always satisfying...telling each man's story with brutal honesty and poignantly reinforcing a sense of existential malaise -- Matthew Bremner Financial Times Petterson's signature technique lies in drawing the most zigzag line imaginable through narrative chronology but the effect is not of confusion, rather of a dense, layered complexity: it is the realist novel form's mimetic faithfulness to lie itself -- Neel Mukherjee Guardian The suspense isn't in the plot but in the prose, with its extraordinary looping sentences -- Blake Morrison Guardian Books of the Year
