Critics Review
The quirky gem … Witty and weird with shades of Where’d You Go Bernadette * GRAZIA Summer Reads *
A brilliant, touching read … wildly funny * Woman’s Own *
A runaway train of a novel, taking the reader on a grand tragi-comic ride * Rose Tremain *
Absolutely raced through it. Funny, emotional, sad, and so, so honest. It’s about love, family, grief, longing, and the crazy turmoil of living with all of them. Highly recommended * Bethany Clift, author of Last One at the Party *
About The Author
Susannah Wise
Susannah Wise is an actor and writer who grew up in London and the Midlands. A childhood spent outdoors inspired her love of nature and tree climbing. The death of her father in 2015 was the catalyst for THIS FRAGILE EARTH. His preoccupation with astronomy and the beauty of the night sky formed the jumping-off point for the story. Susannah studied at the Faber Academy, graduating in September 2018, during which time she wrote a second, more peculiar novel. Both books have been longlisted for the Mslexia prize.
She lives in London with her partner and son.
