Critics Review
‘A biting, uproarious portrait of domesticity in disarray, intractable grief, love and betrayal, motherhood, and the long shadow cast by family legacies. Every character in Mark Lamprell’s latest novel is sharply realised…Things I Need You to Know dramatically switches gears in the final chapters, taking the reader somewhere far darker and pleasingly unexpected. It will appeal to readers of Toni Jordan, Sally Hepworth and Tracy Farr.’ * Books+Publishing *
‘Utterly gripping. I couldn’t stop reading—and by the end, everything I thought I knew had been proven wrong.’
* Kathryn Heyman, bestselling author of Fury *‘With rippling humour, great tenderness and his trademark mix of quirkiness, empathy and insight, Mark Lamprell captivated me with this moving tale of love and betrayal. I loved it.’ * Suzanne Leal, author of The Watchful Wife *
‘All the beauty and wonder of female relations.’
* Age on The Secret Wife *‘Gorgeous and heartfelt…A portrait of individual crisis and family dysfunctionality.’
* Weekend Australian on The Full Ridiculous *About The Author
