At its best,
Bellies
is as deep as it is chic
The most hotly anticipated novel of the summer
A tender, emotional exploration of gender and sexual identity
Beautiful depiction of derailed love
A poignant tale that explores the messy complexities of relationships
, with recognisably imperfect characters at its core
Dizzyingly beautiful
A vividly drawn cast of supporting characters enhances this absorbing and carefully balanced novel - narrated from both Tom and Ming's perspectives - which manages to be
both deeply touching and wickedly witty
.
Dinan's gift as a writer is her ability to make us feel
- when her characters cry, we cry; when they laugh, we laugh; and everybody is changed by the end of this novel, including the reader.
A beautiful love story and an exceptional debut.
This begins as a boy-meets-boy love story, but when the couple leaves university to go to London, one goes through the process of transitioning and the story is about what happens to their relationship from that. It's
a really beautiful, underrepresented love story
in fiction.
A novel overspilling with care and affection for its characters
.... The hype for her book is high
Nicola Dinan grew up in Hong Kong and Malaysia and now lives in London. Bellies, her debut, was nominated for six literary prizes and won the Polari First Book Prize. Disappoint Me, her second novel, won the New Adult Book Prize.
