Media Reviews
Fast becoming the hit of the summer... At times it's darkly comic, but there's loss and heartbreak, too -- Laurel Ives * Style, Sunday Times *
Reza has a sketch artist's ability to create pictures and atmosphere with a few careful strokes... Bittersweet, yet beautiful to read * Daily Mail *
She has a superpower for zeroing in on each beat of an argument, each buried emotion... Moments of simple joy stand out from the vividly awkward domestic tussles that surround them * The Times *
Sharply observant wit...a rather particular delight...the mistress of subtle detail -- Louise Jury * Independent *
Happy are the Happy is a spiky, brilliantly observed novel about marriage, infidelity, dreams and disillusion * Stella Magazine, Sunday Telegraph *
