Critics Review
A perfect novel, one that goes to the places only novels can go – Samantha Harvey
Masterly, deeply moving – Johanna Thomas-Corr * The Times *
A moving story about memory and time that shows Cline is only strengthening her powers * Observer *
Cline writes vividly about the trappings of the elite – the private jets, the heirloom watches – as well as their sad social cost in a story that feels immersive, elegiac, and very real * The Booker Prize 2026 judges *
Cline can always be counted on to deliver a sharp portrait of an uneasy mind… incisive, empathetic, and searing * Lit Hub Most Anticipated Books 2026 *
Cline’s most ambitious novel yet… a book about consciousness, memory, and the strange, pressurised intimacy of a life you know is nearly over… Darkly funny, formally hypnotic, and profoundly moving, it is already one of the most anticipated novels of the second half of the year * The Glossary, Buzziest new books of 2026 *
Crushing and psychologically astute, Cline’s fourth novel confirms her reputation as one of the freshest voices in contemporary American fiction * Cold Magazine *
