Reviews

See what readers and critics are saying about "Strangers Who Talk":

• "Strangers Who Talk isn’t like any other book. Is it social reportage, the eye at the keyhole, the ear at the door? Is it a cross between Ivy Compton Burnett, who wrote novels entirely composed of conversations, and Molly Bloom’s soliloquy at the end of Joyce’s Ulysses? Is it a study in textures and tones – the ripples on the pool of Being? Is it a collection of stones picked up at the beach – present, cherished, mute? ... Strangers Who Talk is all this, and not this at all. It is its own thing." – Margaret Atwood
• "Fractured, haunting, intimate and totally original, Strangers Who Talk knocked the breath out of me. It’s dangerously exact, wilfully ambitious, wild in its scope and perfect in its precision." - Olivia Laing
