It's very funny, quite dirty, and deeply profound, with a fragile magic that comes from entering an uncensored inner world. There is the added thrill as well, of July suggesting that midlife, and menopause in particular, might be kind of . . . hot
* Observer *
Essential . . . A book of vast scope, taking in men and women, the mind and the body, and society and solitude
* Guardian *
July comes into her own [and] brings a new perspective . . . A menopause novel that's never boring
* Sunday Times *
Voyeuristic and exploratory . . . Miranda July compels us with her provocations
* Times Literary Supplement *
A fresh, oestrogen-fuelled take on the midlife crisis, but the prose is smart, sharp and deliciously readable. It's sexy, it's funny, but it's also warm and tender in the best ways
* Prospect Magazine *
A witty, raw tale about freedom and reinvention
* i *
A guidebook to female liberation
* Telegraph *
Savvy introspection and bawdy comedy collide with exhilarating results
* Mail on Sunday *
In <i>All Fours . . .</i> July challenges the binary of marriage and explores sexuality in perimenopause . . . She captures the agony and ecstasy of texting a romantic interest, and of being engulfed by desire
* Financial Times *
Bawdy and frank . . . This is not a novel for the faint-hearted or the easily embarrassed
* Listener *
