Media Reviews
A novel about how we try and fail at every age and yet somehow survive. It is brimming with kindness, forgiveness, humour and love and yet (magically) is also a page turner that held me captive until it was finished. This is Emma Straub's absolute best and the world will love it -- Ann Patchett
Literary sunshine * New York Times *
A wonderful read -- Elizabeth Strout
Smartly observant, wryly witty, big-hearted . . . Fans of Ann Patchett, Anne Tyler and Lily King should seek [Straub] out * The Sunday Times *
This beautifully written book delves deeply, perceptively and humorously into the contemporary human condition * Daily Mail *
A warm and witty story about a family learning to accept the mistakes of the past and feeling their way towards a new, more truthful way of being together. Emma Straub has such a wonderful talent for depicting small-town existence, as well as the challenges and frustrations of family life, that I was utterly immersed in the world of the Stricks. It's one of those books that leaves you feeling as if you've visited a new place and met new friends. All Adults Here is a joy to read -- Sarah Haywood, author of The Cactus
If you can imagine a glorious mash-up of Elizabeth Strout and Gilmore Girls, All Adults Here is is * Red *
If you're a fan of Anne Tyler's writing, you'll love this captivating well-observed family drama * Good Housekeeping *
A novel full of poignant insights into family * Woman & Home *
In All Adults Here, Straub cements her status as a master of the domestic ensemble drama. While readers will relate to the comfortable familiarity of Straub's work, it has also taken on an unexpected air of escapism * Time Magazine *
