"Philip and Sue ... one year, two lives, and what it means to live in them. A story about love and courage, risk and betrayal; about the choices we make and the consequences that shape us. A story that will make you look at the world with new eyes."
Matthew Reynolds' The World Was All Before Them is "original, exhilarating and tender, at once an epic and a miniature, and a mesmerizing exploration of the way we live now."
Matthew's first novel was the highly original, satirical, sharply clever Designs for a Happy Home which I wrote about here; having greatly enjoyed that book I'm eager to pick up this one.
This one sounds okay ,too! Spoilt for choice, we are!

I've just read the beginning of this one - very unusual and intriguing, and exactly what I'd expect having read Matthew Reynolds' first novel.
