Luminescent … Organic and vital … Remarkable … Harvest is a work of delicate, devastating beauty, proof that Harding is a writer of rare insight who deserves to be read more widely

Financial Times

Harding moves fluently between each character … The payoff is devastating

Daily Mail

Harding's cycle of books stand as a masterly achievement, illuminating with wisdom and compassion the darkest corners of the human heart

Guardian

Harding achieves a weighty sense of silence and things not said in this unsettling book about the aftershocks of trauma and the burdens of bearing witness

The Times

So deeply engaging, so threatening, so mild, so controlled - at every stage it seems as if desperate damage is about to be done, and then bit by excruciating bit you realise it was done long, long ago, and nobody you're looking at now can do anything about it. What a writer!

Louisa Young, author of My Dear I Wanted to Tell You

Harvest is an old-fashioned novel in the best possible sense ... The rewards are many. The heartbeat of the book continues to echo long after the last page has been turned'
