A more complex novel [than Knowing Anna], winding three lives and different time frames together most ingeniously, illuminating several periods of the 20th century and several very significant issues. I loved it. -- John Pritchard, former Bishop of Oxford [On KNOWING ANNA] Beautifully written, emotionally resonant and truthful, this is an inspiring novel about the many faces of love and the struggle to come to terms with grief. -- Elizabeth Buchan Sarah Meyrick's latter-day pilgrims are as congenial companions for the reader as for one another. A highly accomplished debut filled with wisdom and grace. -- Michael Arditti Knowing Anna is an easy read . . . but it is not lightweight.

Meyrick writes with clarity and lack of fuss, avoiding the cliches of grief; she is also not sentimental about the balm of belief. * Church Times * Clever, honest, perceptive * The Door *
