WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS

<p>'Tragically funny, with moments of clarity and wisdom, Newman writes loss and laughter in equally brilliant amounts . ' BONNIE GARMUS'Nora-Ephron-style wit ...comforting, so funny, moving... one of my favourite books ever ' MARIAN KEYES' Dazzling, heart-wrenching, snorty-hilarious ... An utter joy to read' RACHEL JOYCE'An absolute masterpiece in characterisation... utterly beautiful.' JOANNA CANNON_______Who knows you better than your best friend? Who knows your secrets, your fears, your desires, your strange imperfect self?Edi and Ash have been best friends for over forty years. Since childhood they have seen each other through life's stealing vodka from their parents, the Madonna phase, REM concerts, unexpected wakes, marriages, infertility, children. As Ash notes, 'Edi's memory is like the back-up hard drive for mine.'So when Edi is diagnosed with cancer, Ash's world reshapes around the rhythms of Edi's care, from making watermelon ice cubes to music therapy; from snack smuggling to impromptu excursions into the frozen winter night. Because life is about squeezing the joy out of every moment, about building a powerhouse of memories, about learning when to hold on, and when to let go.For fans of Nora Ephron and Sorrow & Bliss , We All Want Impossible Things is a deeply moving, jubilant celebration of life and friendship at its imperfect, radiant, and irreverent best._____'You'll stay up late devouring every word ' KATHERINE HEINY' One of the best novels on friendship I've ever read ' AJ PEARCE' I absolutely adored this ...what a beautiful, emotional novel' JILL MANSELL'Shot through with whip-smart humour and boundless compassion. It's one of the best debuts I've read in a long time .' HANNAH BECKERMAN</p>
