'At turns bitingly funny and heart-breakingly gutting.', 'Simultaneously moving, witty and restorative.', 'A love story in retrospect, heartbreaking in its inevitability but also shot through with moments of joy and humour as Eve searches for answers.', 'A book about suicide may not sound heartwarming, but this one about a woman struggling to go on after losing her husband strikes the perfect balance between gut-wrenchingly sad and surprisingly funny. It’s a great rainy-day read about the love that rallies around us in tragic times — and a reminder that light can come from the most unexpected sources.', 'This tender novel about grief triumphs in its reflections on how we are buoyed by the families we are born into, and the ones we make along the way.'
