Reviews

Freud is brilliant at capturing the time in a personal and a global sense … The details are so vivid you feel like you’re remembering the events yourself … it demands and rewards close attention * The Times * Gorgeous and sad and gripping and moving - brutally honest about our search for love * Marian Keyes * A novel with the sharp tang of memory … I was swept up into this world of visceral intimacies, the fraught but powerful relationships between the main characters more than gripping enough to carry me along … It’s the relationship between the sisters that lies at the heart of the novel, and Freud teases out its various pressure points with delicate, moving effect … This beguiling story of female experience and family ties is well worth the three-decade wait * Financial Times *
