You can find more reviews and interviews here.

The book’s fundamental theme is grief. My father died when I was thirteen - and the book’s figuring of childhood bereavement is central to the story it tells. You can read more about that here.

Because life is messy, the book is about other things too: love and marriage, reading, critical exhibitionism, shame. It is also entwined with the history of Anna Karenina, and the novels of Trollope.
