"""A haunting vision of our slow-motion apocalypse. This is exactly what it will be like.""-- ""Michael LaPointe, author of The Creep"" ""A story that burns from the page. Dineen writes about motherhood and the climate crisis with piercing clarity.""-- ""Amy Twigg, author of Spoilt Creatures"" ""Briefly Very Beautiful left me breathless. It is a stunning, poetic, impelling story of love and survival, which I could not stop reading. It is an incredible novel, and the fact it is a debut by Roz Dineen makes it ever more brilliant.""-- ""Jodie Whittaker, actress"" ""Instantly immersive, beautifully imagined, this is an unflinching but inspiring story about some things we're going to lose, and other things we must never lose."" -- ""Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series"""
