'Tender, warm-hearted and wise.' Toni Jordan 'Each of the women in this novel feels like she could be a friend.' Sophie Green 'Bolton is a natural-born storyteller and her debut novel is a gift to us all.' Lee Kofman 'Social commentary shot through with wicked humour. I loved it.' Lucy Treloar 'Engaging, moving and full of heart.' Suzanne Leal 'Trish Bolton renders visible the complex lives of older women who are so often invisible in our culture. A page-turner of a novel.' Sian Prior 'The grief in Bolton's novel is weighty and pervasive, but her tone is light and matter-of-fact; it's as if Sally Hepworth wrote Jennifer Down's Bodies of Light. Bolton has written through the ""not knowing what to say"" of grief. This book will also appeal to fans of Gail Honeyman with her rendering of retired, but not retiring, women.' Books + Publishing
