Wait's propulsive plotting and the complicity she creates through the power of her writing form a great surging shout of a novelGuardian
Wait's confident plotting leads the reader towards a climax as satisfying as it is inevitable . . . The tenderness and the transformative nature of the ending . . . are truly moving.Independent on Sunday
A restrained tour-de-force, a profoundly unsettling, brilliantly executed, and deeply humane depiction of a slow slide toward an unspeakable act, and the difficulty and necessity of finding a way to live in the aftermath. The Followers is a remarkable novel.Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven
Such a suspenseful and compassionate book, never more so than in its feeling for certain characters, the disorderliness of their inner lives, their vulnerability. I thought it remarkableSunjeev Sahota, author of OURS ARE THE STREETS
