Description
'Lockwood has a modern comic sensibility like no one else' The Times
'Characteristically witty, lyrical, sometimes bonkers' New York Times
The world might be in disarray, but for one young woman, the very weave of herself seems to have loosened. Time and memories pass straight through her body, she's afraid of her own floorboards, and the lyrics of 'What Is Love' play over and over in her ears. 'I'm sorry not to respond to your email,' she writes, 'but I live completely in the present now.'
Tearing through the slippery terrains of fiction and reality, the possibility for human connection seems to beckon from the other side – and with it, the chance for a blinding re-emergence into the world.
From one of our most original, inventive and prodigiously funny writers, Will There Ever Be Another You is a phosphorescent, wild and profound investigation into what keeps us alive in unprecedented times.

Reviews
-
When I picked up Will There Ever Be Another You, I was immediately reminded that Lockwood has a modern comic sensibility like no one else ... She and her characters (clearly her own family) are so hilarious that you get swept up in the momentum of her wayward brain.
The Times
-
Many readers may have forgotten, or perhaps memory-holed, what it was like to live through the pandemic. Lockwood offers a friendly – and characteristically witty, lyrical, sometimes bonkers – reminder in her new novel
New York Times
-
Lockwood, whose mode of thought borders on the metaphysical, takes the literary “you” seriously ... Like the word “you”, it will mean something different – but surely dazzling – to each of you who reads it.
Financial Times
-
Mind-melting
TIME Magazine
-
The story that Lockwood's book tells deals with sickness and recovery, but also with caretaking, companionship, and, above all, love
New Yorker
-
A jaw-dropping tour de force of language and structure
Waterstones
