Peck & Peck

Charming, uplifting, soulful, and original, Peck & Peck is the perfect successor to Lessons In Chemistry. If you loved Elizabeth Zott, you will adore Batter Gray. * Kristin Hannah *
This novel is everything: a love story, a literary thriller, a brilliant satire that’s full of humor and heart. Only Bonnie Garmus can write like this. * Meg Mason, international bestselling author of Sorrow and Bliss *
An absolute triumph of storytelling, writing and characterisation, Peck & Peck had me from the first sentence. This is a glorious celebration of, and plea for, the creative arts, with a cast of truly unforgettable characters, from the eponymous Peck and Peck to the excellently named narrator Batter Gray. I won’t forget this book. Ever.’ * Jennie Godfrey, Sunday Times bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things *
It was an absolute delight to escape into Bonnie Garmus’s world of delinquent poets, demented publishers and recherché fonts. Her exuberant comedy and freewheeling imagination reminded me of John Irving in his prime. Many congratulations - no ‘difficult second album’ for Bonnie Garmus - I thought it was even better than her first. * Clare Chambers, bestselling author of Small Pleasures *
One of the best books I’ve ever read. Genius level clever. A superbly crafted, intricate story about life, love and standing up for what you believe in. I absolutely loved it. * Donna Ashworth *
Magnificent. Captivating, funny, wise and wonderful. Peck & Peck is the book the literary world has been waiting for, and it delivers on every level. I couldn’t love it more. * Chris Whitaker *
Delightful. Reading it was like living in a world of poetry and words, where a building that captured the feeling of both could exist. Also, where a dog can make a difference. Too real to be fantastical, yet fantastically different. I loved it, from the opening page with the various definitions of ‘peck’. Perfect * Anne Youngson, author of Meet Me at the Museum *
Bonnie Garmus has done it again. Peck & Peck is an absolute cracker. Funny, vivid and enormously compelling (with another serious contender for Best Dog in Fiction Ever), you almost wonder if Batter Gray’s world isn’t secretly real? * AJ Pearce, bestselling author of Dear Mrs Bird *
