I absolutely gulped down into the wreck. Dickey's prose, as ever, is perfectly calibrated. I can't think of a contemporary writer who tackles modern relationships with fiercer wit and greater wisdom – these characters spike off the page

A. K. BLAKEMORE, Desmond Elliot Prize-winning author of The Glutton

In this wonderful novel, the narrators complicate one another as they share their interiority and personal struggles to know the people they love . . . Susannah Dickey creates a rich, sensitive and vivid portrait of a family keening to understand each other and themselves

AMY KEY, author of Arrangements in Blue

into the wreck is a haunting masterpiece that captures the quiet and deadly drama of everyday family life. Set against the shadows of the North, we are immersed into what forms a family, what holds it together and how the ordinary becomes epic. into the wreck is a meditation on intimacy and endurance. Dickey's storytelling is both forensic and tender - and she has a rare gift for illuminating the beauty in the banal. The novel feels simultaneously grounded in the present and touched by something otherworldly. Utterly original, compelling, sardonic, brutal, visceral and emotionally devastating, this is easily one of the best books I've read this year

ELAINE FEENEY, Booker Prize-longlisted author of How to Build a Boat

Perfectly judged . . . A surprising, clever, sad and strange book which I am still thinking about long after finishing - and yet such a propulsive joy to read too

MEGAN NOLAN, on Common Decency

Her turn of phrase, ear for dialogue, wry humour and power of observation are masterful
