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
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

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, All Fours 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
