A Town Called Solace Bewertungen

It's already one of my favourite books of the year * Rachel Joyce *
She has the God-given ability to convey the complexities of human nature in everyday language... Like a magician, Lawson hides her technique, and makes it all seem as natural as breathing -- Craig Brown * Mail on Sunday *
A contemplative story about loss and regret, a slow burn of a read with a fire at its heart -- John Boyne * Irish Times *
Lawson's writing is such that it appears effortless but, as all the strands come together to create a rich and satisfying tapestry, her genius for storytelling becomes apparent * Irish Independent *
The doubts, difficulties and uncertainties of the human condition are carefully examined in a way that is both heartbreaking and joyful * Scotsman *
Subtle and darkly funny, this tender novel unspools the interconnected lives of her beautifully drawn characters * Daily Express *
An absorbing novel * Sunday Express *
Lawson has carved out a world in Northern Ontario that's vividly, absorbingly real... Carries you along from midnight to dawn, oblivious of the time * Literary Review *
A Town Called Solace keeps you breathless with anxiety, then relief and finally even joy -- Ferdinand Mount * Observer *
Close to perfection * The Times *
