Reviews

The End We Start From is a beautifully spare, haunting meditation on the persistence of life after catastrophe. I loved it.
I can’t remember ever having read a novel quite as sparing or as daring as Megan Hunter’s The End We Start From, or one that delivers so mighty an impact from such delicate materials. It is a moving, wistful and compelling debut.
The End We Start From is strange and powerful, and very apt for these uncertain times. I was moved, terrified, uplifted – sometimes all three at once. It takes skill to manage that, and Hunter has a poet’s understanding of how to make each word count.
A shot of distilled story . . . engrossing, compelling and finally hopeful
