Three Hours

Three Hours is both a gripping thriller and a beautiful meditation on the nature of family, friendship, courage and unintended - lethal - consequences. Superb.Wow! This is a stunner of a book. Staggeringly good – Jane FallonASTONISHING. Powerful, terrifying, heartbreakingIt’s beautifully, elegantly written, SO gripping, intelligent, timely, affecting and moving – Marian KeyesThere’s no one else writing quite like Rosamund Lupton in fiction today - the way she combines high tension with a compassionate and humane take on the world is unique. Three Hours is exceptional - at turns heart-breaking, warm, terrifying, perceptive and grippingly page turning – Kate HamerThree Hours is Rosamund Lupton’s best book yet, and that is high praise. A monster story for our fractious historical moment – the age of the internet and of Columbine, of terror and mass migration – when the monsters often look an awful lot like our own children. Chilling, suspenseful, humane, and brave – William LandayAn incredible, unbelievably powerful book… I forgot how to breathe as it explored what it means to be human - for better or for worse. It’s taut, it’s tight, it’s appalling, it’s uplifting, it’s extraordinary. Simply stunning – Dinah JefferiesThis is an incredible novel: a heady combination of elegant writing, nuanced characterisation, deep emotion and heart-stopping tension. I was torn, all the way through, between wanting to slow down in order to relish the detail, and wanting to speed up in order to find out what was going to happen’ – Elizabeth BrooksI read Three Hours in two days, in awe. It’s breathtaking. A modern rumination on the issues that divide 21st century life, a celebration of refugees, of mental health, of love and hope and bravery. I loved it more than I can say’ – Gillian McAllisterThree Hours is about hate crime, but what rings out from its pages - what is likely to stay with you long after you’ve read that magnificent last line - is love. I wanted to read Three Hours slowly to savour every beautiful word, yet it is so compelling that I couldn’t put it down. This one is destined for the best-sellers list, I reckon, and rightly so. It is phenomenal – Fiona Mitchell
