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 *
Rage, grief, lust, sadness, selfishness; this stunning book and July's nameless heroine have it all. I cannot wait to read it all over again
- GILLIAN ANDERSON,
A life-changer for me. I thought I was reading about middle age, then I thought I was reading about menopause, then motherhood, then sexuality, then monogamy, then marriage. And by the final page I realised I was reading about existence and death and I couldn't stop crying. Plus it's so funny and it's so horny. My favourite novel of this year
- DOLLY ALDERTON,
A giddy, bold, mind-blowing tour de force by one of our most important literary writers. Funny, honest, rich with the energy of the mind, <i>All Fours</i> will jump-start your relation to language and cause you to think anew about the nature of desire
- GEORGE SAUNDERS,
Transcendent . . . A book that emboldens you. To read it, is to feel gloriously, unashamedly alive
- PANDORA SYKES,
One of the freshest, funniest, most urgent voices I've read in a long time . . . Authentic and willingly honest. I couldn't put the book down. What a delight
- HUGH JACKMAN,
Wild and outrageous, provocative and entirely unpredictable
- DAVID NICHOLLS,
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 *
