This is a wonderful book. Intelligent and subtle, it is exquisitely written with enormous warmth and depth of emotion… But what makes The Interestings exceptional is the precision and elegance of Wolitzer’s writing… This should be the novel to make Wolitzer a household name here too
Kate Mosse, The Times
Wolitzer is a writer of prodigious energy and detail, with the knack for comic-satirical perceptions of character and culture
Rachel Cusk, Guardian
A complex, cleverly interwoven analysis of the moment when the lives of six friends begin to unravel’
Viv Groskop, Observer
Wolitzer has a knack for homing in on the kind of pretension-puncturing details that can sum up a minor character in a single sentence
Hepzibah Anderson, Daily Mail
Meg Wolitzer writes fluently about the American Dream and whether you should surrender your goals to reality in this wonderful novel
Stylist
I love Meg Wolitzer’s The Interestings because it’s sprawling and beautifully written and it opens at a summer camp. It’s a truly great novel about friendship, and how it deepens and changes over the years
David Sedaris, Conde Nast Traveller
A breakout book
