Dalla quarta di copertina

'I was in the story, feeling everything. I cared about every character . . . She writes beautifully. It was a total pleasure' Philippa Perry

`Always surprising - unexpected, particular, the thing you didn't know you wanted, but needed more than anything'- Tamsin Greig

` Infinitely tender and steely' Richard Coles


'Her writing has a Keatsian belief in the holiness of the Heart's affections... a beautiful work of art, a page-turning narrative ... both heart-breaking and consoling' Shena Mackay

'A novel of profound courage and consideration... one of the greatest visceral studies of love I have ever experienced' Lisa Dwan

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Susie Boyt writes with a mordant wit and vivid style which are at their best in Loved and Missed.


When your beloved daughter is lost in the fog of addiction and you make off with her baby in order to save the day, can willpower and a daring creative zeal carry you through ?
Examining the limits, disappointments and excesses of love in all its forms, this marvellously absorbing novel, full of insight and compassion, delights as much as it disturbs.

` She takes the study of love into uncharted territory and every sentence has its depth and pleasure' Linda Grant

`I am so moved: it carries a huge emotional power... I ache for them all. Poignant, witty, lyrical and perceptive - Joan Bakewell
