ORANGE

'A gorgeous, heart-wrenching novel about the search for belonging, the struggle between past and present and the courage it takes to hold onto love when everything else feels uncertain. One of the most emotionally resonant and beautifully written books you'll read this year, Orange is an unforgettable meditation on what it truly means to find home'
- Andrew Porter, author of The Imagined Life  

'Exemplary. Orange is a love letter to London and all its flaws and excesses. Garner has crafted a deeply felt and painfully accurate story about the impossibilities of ever truly escaping ourselves. Written with the flair of Ocean Vuong and the narrative excellence of Alexander Chee, Orange is an extremely accomplished sophomore novel'
- Alex Allison, author of Greatest of All Time  

'Richly humane, wholly original, beautifully crafted, probing and sharply insightful... Every scene is precisely rendered, every image and sensation finely wrought'
- Niamh Campbell, author of This Happy  

'Perfectly captures the exhilaration of first love... it's hilarious, sexy and messy'
- Jake Hall, author of Shoulder to Shoulder  

'A beautiful and incredibly moving love story that explores queerness and identity, home and belonging, and the different people we become in different places'
- Margaret McDonald, author of Glasgow Boys  

'Vivid, moving and artfully observed, Orange perfectly captures the bittersweetness of leaving one home to build another, and the tenderness we so often feel for our former selves. This book will leave you with a delicious ache in your heart'
- Grace Flahive, author of Palm Meridian
