Vivid, illuminating and unbearably tense, Land of the Living is a masterly meditation on trauma, on beauty, on the idea of home and the limits of love

Guardian

Georgina Harding's beautiful novels tell of wars, and troubled homecomings as traumatised fighting men try to re-enter interrupted marriages and homes grown strange ... Land of the Living is as wise and haunting as its predecessors

Georgina Harding's beautiful novels tell of wars, and troubled homecomings as traumatised fighting men try to re-enter interrupted marriages and homes grown strange … Her Land of the Living is as wise and haunting as its predecessors

Lucy Hughes Hallett, New Statesman, Books of the Year

A quietly powerful novel

Observer

Audacious and moving … Elegiac, often elliptical vignettes that immaculately simulate Charlie's shame, regret and grief … Masterly

Sunday Times

Remarkable and rare
