Reviews for The Fell
A slim, tense page turner that captures the precious warmth of human connection. I gulped The Fell down in one sitting
Emma Donoghue Moss writes so compassionately about human frailty while her own work is as close to perfect as a novelist’s can be
The Times
Gripping, thoughtful and revelatory
Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl ... Read more A funny, savage novel
Guardian
Absorbing . . . ingeniously done . . . a humane, thoughtful reflection on the lockdown experience
Scotsman
There is wit, there is compassion . . . This slim, intense masterpiece is one of my best books of the year
Rachel Joyce A one-sitting read . . . ambitious and immersive
Red
Moss is strong on pastoral lyricism, and her characteristic humour is as piercing here as in her previous novels
The Times
A masterfully tense, deeply empathetic novel . . . [a] tender, insightful exploration of the times we are living through
Megan Hunter, author of The End We Start From Always with steely precision, Moss has mined both the circumstances and the consequences of isolation . . . one of the very best British novelists writing today about contemporary life
Daily Telegraph
She conjures the fretful confinement of the pandemic with colossal skill . . . deft and evocative . . . shrewd and moving
i
The pandemic is spawning some fine writing, and this helter-skelter novel by Moss is one of the best yet
Mail on Sunday Moss perfectly simulates the stifling psychological confinement and ennui of locked-down life . . . a neat, atmospheric novel
Literary Review
[The Fell] leaves the reader on tenterhooks as the story builds to its conclusion . . . Moss makes a strong case for social connection being as important as our physical health for survival
Daily Mirror
Moss steps into other people’s shoes with impressive ease. Her prose is clear, low-key and compelling . . . Feelingly, but without sentimentality, Moss explores what happens when you find yourself teetering on the precipice
Herald
A novel of our time . . . there may be a time when what is described here is, indeed, in the past, and a novel like The Fell will help us to remember
Church Times
It seems ever more important that fiction acknowledge the truths the pandemic has revealed to us: how connected we all are, and how much we fear one another
Guardian
[The Fell] confirms that Sarah Moss is a writer of remarkable power, control and deftness. She's funny, observant and very much of the moment
