Right After the Weather

An exquisitely observed story of passion and friendship * Observer *I loved this so much. Thought-provoking, emotionally intelligent and beautifully written * Daily Mail *Carol Anshaw has written a wonderful character in Cate, who is juggling a series of events and relationships, none of which quite connect or overlap with each other. The writing is smart and often funny, and the detail, perceptive and brilliantly observed. I loved being submerged in Cate’s chaotic life, and even as I closed the last page, I was completely sure that she and all the other characters were alive and well, and continuing to muddle through, somewhere in Chicago * Claire Fuller *Anshaw crafts an engaging narrative with her customary precision and tart humor. Another treat from the great Anshaw: sharply observed, unsentimentally compassionate, always cognizant of life’s complexities * Kirkus starred review *Anshaw brings a fresh, keen voice to this story of modern lesbian life…[it] will captivate readers * Publishers Weekly starred review *Here’s passion and addiction, guilt and damage, all the beautiful mess of family life, Carry the One will lift readers off their feet and bear them along on its eloquent tide * Emma Donoghue, on Carry the One *Superb … Anshaw sees her characters with startling clarity, an acute alertness to nuance, and no small helping of warmth and humour. A marvellous novel, grown-up, smart and emotionally intelligent * Patrick Ness, Guardian, on Carry the One *Her deftly episodic novel of love, time and off-beat family life is warm, generous and wise. Enormously engaging * Daily Mail on Carry the One *Beautifully observed … intimately dissects how one event or choice can alter the trajectory of a life, how a fork in the road can lead to wholly unexpected and divergent outcomes * The New York Times on Carry the One *
