**SOLDIER SAILOR - THE NEW NOVEL BY CLAIRE KILROY - IS AVAILABLE NOW**

'Compelling.' The Times
'Written with such verve and confidence .

All Summer by Claire Kilroy: 'A compelling read. The surprises are real and yet so subtly tracked . . . It's a thriller, a confession and a love story framed by a meditation on the arts.' (Margaret Reynolds, The Times)

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Anna Hunt has lost her memory and is on the run. From who and what she is unsure, but trapped in the present she seems certain of only one thing — she is somehow linked to the stolen painting currently being restored in the National Gallery.

In a wonderfully unsettling first novel, All Summer, Claire Kilroy manages to combine beautiful, poetic prose with the menacing atmosphere of a thriller as she explores themes of memory, violence, art, and escape.

"A compelling read. The surprises are real and yet so subtly tracked... It's a thriller, a confession, and a love story framed by a meditation on the arts." — Margaret Reynolds, The Times
