Instantly immersive, beautifully imagined, this is an unflinching but inspiring story about some things we're going to lose, and other things we must never lose
Impossible to put down ... Hauntingly realistic, disturbing, stylish, raw and urgent
A disturbing but ultimately hopeful dystopian novel
A haunting vision of our slow-motion apocalypse. This is exactly what it will be like
A story that burns from the page. Dineen writes about motherhood and the climate crisis with piercing clarity
An incredible novel ... Briefly Very Beautiful left me breathless. It is a stunning, poetic, impelling story of love and survival, which I could not stop reading
In her debut novel, Roz Dineen unforgettably captures the fear and frenzy of a dystopian future that is coming ever closer. Her prose is gorgeous; her characters fierce and haunting. A book that is, quite literally, on fire. Very beautiful and all-too brief
A beautiful and timely novel, combining a tough yet tender-eyed depiction of motherhood with clear-sighted commentary on the climate crisis. This is an important book and I devoured it
