The Answer to Everything

‘Emotional, absorbing … Kennard has a poet’s flair for noticing the electric in the quotidian’ Guardian

‘Captivating and exquisite – I loved the unpredictability of the story and the gorgeously lyrical writing. The dialogue is so clever and the characters so emotionally brave. This book sort of hypnotized me!’ Ruth Jones, author of Us Three

‘A funny, wry, unsettling and ultimately redemptive novel about love and narcissism, and about the versions of ourselves that technology both creates and destroys’ Nathan Filer, author of The Shock of the Fall

‘An intelligent, human, and moving story about love and betrayal in all of their puzzling subtleties’ Niamh Campbell, author of This Happy

‘A tremendous novel – funny, shrewd, poignantly destabilising – and charged with Luke Kennard’s laconic wit and his gimlet eye for the foibles and nuances of human behaviour. A huge success.’ William Boyd author of Any Human Heart

‘Packed with sparkling, laugh-out-loud dialogue and characters so nuanced their heartache feels real, The Answer to Everything is that rare thing: a book with a brilliant twist which also happens to be touching and hilarious’ Isy Suttie, author of The Actual One

‘Savagely funny, very highly recommended’ Bookseller

‘Superb … many of Kennard’s readers will recognise so much of themselves and their lives in this book that they’ll be nodding away like Churchill dogs’ Daily Telegraph

‘This satirical romance about nervy millennials is unbelievably sharp and snappy. I just loved this brilliant novel and can’t recommend it enough’ Daily Mail

‘With shiny-sharp humour, Luke Kennard take us down the dark alleys of longing in the domestic setting’ Sainsbury’s Magazine
