Ferdinand Mount's exquisite writing draws you into a gorgeously horrid world of lies, where all authenticity is faked, and where the biggest deceptions are the ones we practise upon ourselves. Perhaps you recognise the place he's talking about. He exposes such cold truths with such warmth – I am in eternal awe of his writing, wherever I find it.

Making Nice is the funniest, shrewdest, most elegant novel I have read in years. What will Mount conjure up next?

The Oldie

…like all his novels…show his gifts for comedy, physical description and for capturing idiosyncratic mannerisms.

Wall Street Journal

...This pacey book is great fun to read.
