An exquisitely observed story of passion and friendship
*Observer*
I loved this so much. Thought-provoking, emotionally intelligent
and beautifully written
*Daily Mail*
Carol Anshaw has written a wonderful character in Cate, who is
juggling a series of events and relationships, none of which quite
connect or overlap with each other. The writing is smart and often
funny, and the detail, perceptive and brilliantly observed. I loved
being submerged in Cate's chaotic life, and even as I closed the
last page, I was completely sure that she and all the other
characters were alive and well, and continuing to muddle through,
somewhere in Chicago
*Claire Fuller*
Anshaw crafts an engaging narrative with her customary precision
and tart humor. Another treat from the great Anshaw: sharply
observed, unsentimentally compassionate, always cognizant of life's
complexities
*Kirkus starred review*
Anshaw brings a fresh, keen voice to this story of modern lesbian
life...[it] will captivate readers
*Publishers Weekly starred review*
Here's passion and addiction, guilt and damage, all the beautiful
mess of family life, Carry the One will lift readers off their feet
and bear them along on its eloquent tide
*Emma Donoghue, on Carry the One*
Superb . . . Anshaw sees her characters with startling clarity, an
acute alertness to nuance, and no small helping of warmth and
humour. A marvellous novel, grown-up, smart and emotionally
intelligent
*Patrick Ness, Guardian, on Carry the One*
Her deftly episodic novel of love, time and off-beat family life is
warm, generous and wise. Enormously engaging
*Daily Mail on Carry the One*
Beautifully observed . . . intimately dissects how one event or
choice can alter the trajectory of a life, how a fork in the road
can lead to wholly unexpected and divergent outcomes
