How To Be Lost

'The narrative is so engrossing, so propelling, you're surprised to come upon the last page...a damn good story.'

Time Out New York

'This is one of those sink-your-teeth-into-it novels that reminds you why you loved to read in the first place.'

The Charlotte Observer

'A walloping knockout of a finisher that would seem like a cheap trick if it weren't so thrilling. The author plays a smooth game, not showing her hand until the absolute right time.'

Kirkus

'I read Amanda Eyre Ward's lovely How To Be Lost after a warm recommendation from a friend...it has that lovely tone that only American women writers seem to be able to achieve: melancholic, wry, apparently (but only apparently) artless, perched on the balls of its feet and ready to jump either towards humour or heartbreak, with no run-up and no effort. How To Be Lost has a great setup, too.' Nick Hornby
