Media Reviews

'Sarah Moss is one of our country's most underrated writers... [Signs for Lost Children is] full of humanity, historical insight and beautiful writing... If there is one author you take a chance on this year, let it be her - it's time, and money, well spent' - Fiona Wilson, The Times

'Quietly devastating... These lateral portraits of disillusionment are excellently rendered. Tom's journey is external and exotic ... [and] is beautifully delivered (Moss is an effortlessly elegant writer), but in the end it is Ally's internal odyssey that grips... A compelling, often harrowing, occasionally heartbreaking read' - Sarah Crown, Guardian
