A wonderfully wise, moving and heartfelt novel. A profound and vital book
William Boyd, author of Any Human Heart
Howard Jacobson at his finest. An intense expression of romantic love and sexual desire
Linda Grant, author of The Story of the Forest
Something more subtle and melancholy than expected. In the best possible way, fans of Jacobson will not be disappointed
Observer
Jacobson has lost none of his garrulity and ebullience… What Will Survive of Us powers along with stretches of nimble verbal exchange in which the opponents are equally matched. And you're never far from a profound reflection on life's challenges
Literary Review
A rare gift and one to be treasured
Sunday Times
Essential human truths are conveyed through humour, melancholy and kinetic dialogue
Mail on Sunday
A tender love story... Jacobson’s sentences have always been things of beauty: ornate yet vigorous
Daily Telegraph
Funny, self-knowing and floridly romantic
Oldie
Equal parts funny and challenging, this is a clear-eyed view of long-term love
Daily Telegraph
