The Everyday and Far Away

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'A thoroughly heartwarming and deeply moving story. It's so beautifully written, with characters I grew to adore, and the soul-stirring ending left me smiling through tears.' Kate Storey, author of The Memory Library 'One of those rare novels that will burrow right inside your heart and nestle there forever... I cried more tears over the tragedy and love rendered in this story than I think I ever have in a novel. Dementia is a difficult subject, but Jones handles it with perfection, never sentimental or patronising, but with a raw, emotional truth.' Louise Fein, author of People Like Us 'This charming novel about characters with dementia and ADHD is more than the sum of its parts. I was moved to tears by its quiet beauty and layered characters.' Laura Pearson, author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont 'What a beautiful book... A poignant and heartbreaking tale, but it has an ending that will leave you feeling incredibly uplifted and joyous.' Kate Galley, author of Odd Girls Behaving Badly 'Beautifully written with unforgettable characters, The Everyday and Faraway is an intricately layered novel about family, love and the power of memory. I couldn't put it down.' Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me 'This is a story about the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. I haven't read a book that's touched me so deeply in a long, long time. Jones takes you on an incredibly emotional journey with a deftness of touch.' Victoria Scott, author of The Women Who Wouldn't Leave 'A captivating and original story to warm your heart! A must read!' Lauren North, author of The Perfect Son 'Using charming characterisation and empathy, the author sensitively explores the effects of dementia. Keep your tissues at the ready.' Candis
