"Sometimes gentle and sensual, sometimes tense and tinged with sadness, this is a book that provided a real emotional workout. ‘High October’ is an acutely observed study of mature love, and the mechanisms we employ to cope with traumatic events. Delivered with such empathy, I found it easy to lose myself in Maggie and Liz’s story. Wonderful reading!" -The Reading Room
