Amazing ... I absolutely love the form, which breathes new life into a familiar story making it both more elegant and more brutal. I read it in one sitting, completely swept up in Ana's fragmented narrative

An evocative portrait of marriage and adultery, Crossan's adult fiction debut explores the singular agony of losing someone the world can never know was yours'

A gutsy, modern, deeply entertaining and, at times, faintly subversive-feeling piece of work. It's also entirely and likably original in its execution, quite unlike anything I've read before … the writing is so bright and alive and the novel is a triumph – crackling with psychological and sexual ambiguity
JULIE MYERSON, OBSERVER

Brilliant ... An adult tale of love, betrayal and loss
GUARDIAN, Biggest Books of the Autumn
-
Excellent ... An eviscerating account of modern marriage
