Synopsis :

Book by Cartwright Justin

Revue de presse:

Half In Love has the invigorating feel and racing pace of any good love story (Hampstead and Highgate Express)

Cartwright's tender, ironic, but ultimately optimistic dissection of human love is as shrewd and unshrinking as his conclusions about politics and journalism... Half in Love is a marvel of compression, of characterisation and of tightly cast thought. It is also very moving and utterly gripping, to which the author has cleverly added a sly whiff of the roman-à-clef. (The Times)

Half in Love is a marvellous novel, serious, moving, compelling, wholly credible. (Weekend Scotsman)

Intelligent and lucid (The Times)

Cartwright has an unfashionable ear for sincerity, which ambushes modern readers used to seeing the false and flaky exposed. (Saturday Telegraph)

This fine novel is also a powerful, irrestibly page-turning love-story. (Harpers & Queen)

[An] urbanely intelligent story of political and sexual manners (The Sunday Times)

An absorbing novel... the writing is elegant and crisp (Sunday Telegraph)

[Half in Love] is awash with neatly drawn minor characters - and knocks most contemporary fiction into a cocked hat. (The Spectator)
