Polly’s Kindness in the USA Today
July 21, 2015
Novelist Polly Samson (lyricist for On An Island, The Division Bell, The Endless River, and the forthcoming Rattle That Lock) will see her acclaimed novel The Kindness published in hardcover and as an e-book in the US today.
Already described as a “sumptuous, vivid and painterly work” by The New York Times, reviews in the UK included this from the Financial Times: “This is elegant, witty writing, informed throughout by generosity and wise perceptiveness. Dealing with many kinds of love, and with misunderstanding, betrayal, grief and forgiveness, the novel dares to posit, ultimately, the possibility of redemption. It is a book to cherish, to recommend, to return to – and not to lend anyone”.
