'If you love Jonathan Franzen, you'll love this compelling book' Entertainment Weekly Anshaw conveys beefy emotions and life-changing events with the most gossamer of touches' Rachel Johnson, Vogue 'A funny, vivid and pingingly true story about longing and the pain of love. 'A tender tale of what happens to ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances' Marie Claire Carry The Oneis a marvellous novel, grown-up, smart and emotionally intelligent about people who, like the rest of us, try but mostly fail to keep their ducks in a row' Patrick Ness, Guardian Anshaw's writing subtle, bemused, kind and smart, she nails moment after moment. Anshaw sees her characters with startling clarity and no small helping of warmth and humour.
It is delicate in its touch, yet huge in its reach' Observer ' Carry The Oneis a finely crafted novel, full of phrases you want to cut out and keep, and characters you think you know. 'Her deftly episodic novel of love, time and off-beat family life is warm, generous and wise. Through friendships and love affairs, marriage and divorce, parenthood, addiction, and the modest calamities and triumphs of ordinary days, Carry the One shows how one life affects another and how those who thrive and those who self-destruct are closer to each other than we'd expect. For the next twenty-five years, the lives of those involved are subtly shaped by this tragic moment. In the early hours of the morning, following a wedding reception, a car filled with stoned, drunk and sleepy guests accidentally hits and kills a girl on a dark country road. Carry the One will lift readers off their feet and bear them along on its eloquent tide' Emma Donoghue 'Here's passion and addiction, guilt and damage, all the beautiful mess of family life.
