Recenzje

'Think Brideshead Revisited meets The Talented Mr Ripley with a dash of The Riot Club. I couldn't put it down' Louise O'Neill, author of Asking For It

'An exhilarating and gripping psychological thriller about obsession, betrayal, jealousy and class distinctions. Elizabeth Day's writing is impeccable, suspenseful and clever. I couldn't put this down!' Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

'Superb - clever, gripping, psychologically acute' Laura Barnett, author of The Versions of Us

'What will probably be my book of the year ... I loved it' Sinead Crowley, Irish Independent

'Fast out of the traps, compelling and infinitely believable: but what really got me about The Party was the writing. Stunning' Susie Steiner, author of Missing, Presumed

'A well-paced slow-burner of a literary thriller - think Donna Tartt's The Secret History or Alan Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty... The Party is a gripping page-turner' Observer

'Devious, witty, thrilling' Refinery 29

'Skilfully constructed, suspenseful narrative ... It's a smart, wittily written riff on class, privilege and power' Mail on Sunday

'Echoes of The Secret History and The Talented Mr Ripley thrum through Elizabeth Day's pacey fourth novel... jolly fun' Sunday Times

'Elizabeth Day's latest novel is sinister and seductive and nothing short of breathtaking' Francesca Seagal, author of The Innocents

'I can't recommend it highly enough' Aine Toner, Women's Way

'The Party is a compelling read, but it's a lot more than a page turner... We may have seen a hundred stories like this on the news, but Elizabeth Day's perfectly pitched dialogue and vivid prose brings it all to life' Catherine Chanter, author of The Well
