Daily Mirror

<p>This is a world full of <b>charm, warmth and pitch-perfect humour,</b> but it is also a world punctuated by Moggach's <b>blistering truths on the tangled, sorrowful threads of resentment and disappointment that bind families together</b></p>

Sunday Express, S Mag

Infuses the subject with her <b>trademark humour and pathos,</b> reshaping a societal dilemma into a family drama, <b>by turns compelling and surprising </b>- her nuanced characterisations make the subject matter really come alive

- Hannah Beckerman, Observer

Moggach addresses an all too common nightmare with <b>ruthless honesty and sublime wit</b> - <i>The Carer</i> is <b>one of the funniest novels I have read for ages</b>

- Kate Saunders, The Times

If you enjoyed THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL, there's a chance you'll love the author's new novel even more. <b>A heartwarming triumph</b>

Woman & Home

<b>Wickedly, witty entertainment</b>. Moggach is so very good at describing the ordinary, she transforms it into the unusual, shocking and fascinating. Behind the normality of people's lives there often lies an extraordinary story. It's this that Moggach tells with <b>insight, acute observation of character and mordant humour</b>. <i>The Carer</i> is <b>an immediately relevant work</b>, a fiction anchored in reality

Spectator

<b>Surprising, funny </b>and certain to have more than one reader wincing in recognition

The i

I love her book - and this one especially. <b>It's marvellous</b>

- India Knight,

This <b>joyous</b> novel ... a sustained satire on smug middle-class mores, like a deranged Archers omnibus. Can there be higher praise?

- Wendy Holden, Daily Mail

A <b>sharp, witty</b>, characteristically generous and <b>gallopingly readable</b> novel

Readers Digest

A <b>witty</b> tale, with beautifully drawn characters

Best

<b>Moving and funny</b>

Good Housekeeping

<b>Good, rollicking</b>, and occasionally, what with the file of evasions, duplicity and fractured emotion, wounding and <b>reflective</b> stuff

Private Eye

I just loved it - <b>so touching and wise and funny,</b> full of all the lovely touches that Debby is so good at. She <b>draws characters so deftly</b>; you begin to think you know them from the smallest of observations. They're all so human!

- Sabine Durrant,

<i>The Carer</i> will ring bells for any reader with parents reaching the grab-rail stage of life but proves <b>as touching as it's funny.</b> Moggach writes in the best funny-ouch tradition, her humour always rooted in <b>acute observation of our frailties and appetites</b>

- Patrick Gale,

Deborah Moggach's <b>warm heart and cool eye for hilarious British idiosyncrasies</b> are both on top form here - <b>I laughed like a drain</b>. Specially at the hippy Lothario in the wet Welsh woods

- Louisa Young,

Beautifully written, oozing interesting <b>characters that you genuinely care about</b>

- Adele Parks,

Lit up a dull day with its <b>warmth and wit</b>

Tessa Hadley

The most endearing of humorists, <b>Deborah Moggach casts a penetrating eye on our foibles and fantasies</b>. Neither ageing, nor death - as The Carer so beautifully demonstrates - can resist her comic scrutiny

Lisa Appignanesi

A <b>wry, witty and wise </b>novel, full of <b>insight and understanding</b>'
