The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything is such a special novel. Tender, unique and uplifting, it explores sibling love, romantic love and the love between friends. Such an accomplished debut
Gorgeous
The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything is (quite) wonderful. Happily, no maths is required to find Kara Gnodde’s writing – rich with metaphor and passion – totally absorbing. A delight
A perfectly balanced equation of head and heart. My book of the year. I fell in love with Mimi and Art, and the smart, funny, tender world that Gnodde creates
