Reviews

“The story glints and cuts like smashed crystal.”
*The Guardian*

“A tight tale of domestic carnage.”
*Frances Wilson, The Times Literary Supplement*

“Ties seizes you and doesn’t let go for 150 pages. The tone is cool and contained. Hysteria threatens, and is kept away—although only just.” 
*The Times*

"A complex and devastating dissection of a relationship, superbly teased apart and considered from all possible viewpoints." 
*The Sunday Times*

"Ingeniously constructed."
*Financial Times*

"Distinguished by its distinctive characters and clarity of tone, Ties is a gem."
*BBC Culture*

 “[Starnone’s] leanest, most understated and emotionally powerful novel.”
*The New York Times Book Review*

"Ties is puzzle-like, architectural, a novel ingeniously constructed."
*The New Yorker*

"Neatly structured and tightly plotted….Ties packs a lot of baggage into a small container while also leaving the container ajar, like Pandora's box."
*Asymptote Journal*

“A slim, stunning meditation on marriage, fidelity, honesty, and truth.”
*Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)*

“Scalding and incisive.”
*Library Journal (Starred Review)*

"Brief, brilliant and unnerving."
*Margot Livesey, author of The Boy in the Field*

"A cleverly crafted psychological thriller, this slim, intimate novel deftly undoes contemporary gender constructions as well as timeless notions of truth, fidelity, and sacrifice."
*Jennifer Tseng, author of Mayumi and the Sea of Happiness*
