One of the most good-hearted, big-souled books I’ve read. There's something special about the writing.A superb book about a man, his emotions, his family, a father who disappeared - and a son who appeared. Behold, and rejoice.ĭazzlingly beautiful.this is truly heart-stopping writing: a unique and hard-won perspective unfolded in lucid and unforgettable prose. There is so much aching love in this book, such pain and beauty. Melissa Harrison, Financial Times Books of the Year
A fragmentary but utterly lucid multigenerational memoir in which the experience of fatherhood and the demands of masculinity are delicately parsed from all possible angles, it stood out for me for the extraordinary quality of Cunnell’s prose: glancing, agile, heartsore, preternaturally perceptive and above all, tender. 'In a publishing year packed with brilliant writing, nothing stopped my heart quite like Howard Cunnell’s Fathers and Sons.
