Critic reviews

'Brooks is a frighteningly young talent.' Tim Key

'I love Ben Brooks.' Matt Haig

‘You’ll not forget the Candlewicks once you meet them! This splendid, wry satire is about a wealthy family, self-important and confident in their morality, whose blithe and bumptious existences are thrown into disarray when their father clandestinely decides to give all their money to charity, and so (in their opinions) completely destroys their lives. Droll and all-too-real.’ LitHub

'A warmhearted tragicomedy about what it means to live a good life.' People Magazine

‘A sharp-witted tragicomedy about money, morality, and a family teetering on the brink. A splendidly funny novel.’ Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street

‘Ben Brooks is a magical imp who pumps out dark nuggets of poetry and makes you snort with laughter.’ Noel Fielding

‘Brooks has the timing of a genius stand-up comic.’ Richard Milward

‘Ben Brooks is a writer who genuinely excites me.’ Colin Herd, 3:AM Magazine

This book is really food for thought. It’s the Long Island compromise mixed with the bee sting. It’s really excellent I enjoyed all the characters and their stories. When you become frustrated with their decision making it feels like your frustrated with a member of your own family
