The Darlings

‘Exactly the kind of humane, life-affirming, humorous read I needed’ -- Catherine Simpson, author of When I Had a Little Sister * Foreword Reviews *
‘Eccentric…compelling...subtle… A dark, humorous novel, led by domestic scenes and keen observations, in which a troubled man’s crises have clear consequences’
‘This gem of a book perfectly captures the atmosphere of Edinburgh, the complexity of an affair and the absolute need of the main character to be loved and accepted for who he is. Angela Jackson writes with precision, empathy and humour’ -- Caroline Copeland * Outwith Festival *
‘Angela is a true writer and an extremely powerful voice’ -- Bidisha
‘It’s a brave move to write a book that focuses on adultery and its consequences – even braver to tell the story from the point of view of the adulterer – but I thought it was quite wonderful. Welcome back, Angela – without question, this will be one of my books of the year’ -- Being Anne
