Claire Fuller has captured love in its fullest form, nursed on betrayal and regret and guilt . . . Swimming Lessons is so smoothly, beautifully written, and the human failures here are heartbreaking.
David Vann
Bewitching and page-turning . . . an extraordinarily smart and satisfying read.
Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife
Thrilling, transporting, delicately realised and held together by a sophisticated sense of suspense . . . more than matches the power of Fuller's debut . . . Powerful , pleasing and pleasurable.
Sunday Times
It's the sharp eye for detail, sometimes bizarre, that makes her writing stand out . . . A story suffused with the poignancy of miscommunication between people who love each other, of the things we can never really know.
Guardian
With Swimming Lessons, Fuller confirms herself as a writer of emotional depth, technical skill and sensitive plotting . . . What Fuller evokes beautifully are the complicated dynamics between fathers and daughters, sisters, lovers, friends
Observer
A deeply moving read, with a mystery that keeps you turning pages
Oprah.com
Evocative, immersive
Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal
Extraordinary...From the opening sentence it is gripping...Fuller writes with a singing simplicity that finds beauty amid the terror...might well have you crying out for more.
Sunday Times on Our Endless Numbered Days
Bewitching...a rivetingly dark tale...spellbinding.
Sunday Express on Our Endless Numbered Days
Fuller handles the tension masterfully in this grown-up thriller of a fairytale, full of clues, questions and intrigue.
The Times on Our Endless Numbered Days
Fuller's twisted tale is compulsive, treading the fine line between charming and sinister. With its disturbing twist, Our Endless Numbered Days could well become a classic.
Stylist, 'Book Wars' on Our Endless Numbered Days
Rewardingly unsettling...as warped and sinister as any Brothers Grimm fairytale, this tautly written, tense novel is brilliant at evoking both the bewitching beauty of its setting - and its inherent dangers...haunting, suspenseful and deftly written...memorably chilling.
Metro on Our Endless Numbered Days
A debut novel that brings to mind such unlikely bedfellows as Thoreau's Walden and Emma Donoghue's Room...gripping.
