"Smart, achingly amusing and emotional, this LoveReading Star Book delves into the highs and lows of friendship with a piercing clarity."
Quite simply, a knockout. Author Francesca Hornak’s fabulous debut, Seven Days of Us, was long listed for the Desmond Elliott Prize 2018 and my expectations were high as soon as I saw she had written another novel. Travelling between Oxford University in 2004, and a wedding in France fifteen years on, a group of friends lay bare their relationships, trampling over feelings and each other in the process.
The author writes with a knowing pen, able to lift the veil behind the front people portray, and show the inner private version that is so often hidden. The story sweeps between different characters, each vibrantly authentic and able to stand alone in their own right, yet together they form the most fascinating and diverting of groups.
I loved how the information builds, creating suspense, and changing the alliances I felt for the characters. A darting sense of humour provokes thoughts and often breaks the noose of tension that reigns over proceedings. The further I read, the more involved I became, I was completely invested in what happened, and couldn’t stop reading though I also didn’t want it to end.
So Good to See You is beautifully intricate, oh-so clever, wise, and absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended.
2004. Serge, Rosie and Daniel are enjoying their final weeks of university. They are young, inseparable and full of optimism.
