KIND WORDS

  • “So good on nuance, on interrogating the good and bad of meticulously drawn characters we come to love even when we feel we shouldn't – all the while delving into questions of complicity, goodness, and how our own desires muddy the water”

    Sophie Mackintosh

  • “Sharply attuned to the vast uncomfortable grey areas of gender and power relations, navigating them with wry, revelatory observations that are devastatingly acute”

    Heidi Sopinka

  • “Charlotte Runcie combines her searing observation and immaculate pacing with infectious prose… compelling, comedic and seriously clever”

    Alice Vincent

  • “Runcie’s characters feel so real I wouldn’t be surprised to find myself next to them on the train”

    Rowan Hisayo Buchanan
