'Michele Roberts has always been a terrific, complex writer with a natural tone, a tone of her own, and Negative Capability is among the best of her books.' * Andrew O'Hagan * 'Funny, wise and all-embracing' * Carmen Callil * 'Michele Roberts is a writer who has always excelled at embodying the joy of female intellectual and earthly appetites.' * Deborah Levy * 'A magnificent writer.' * Helen Dunmore, The Guardian * 'A wonderful writer: one in possession of immense feeling' * Rachel Cooke, The Observer * Bold, serious and life-enhancing. * BookOxygen * Roberts' intimate, candid writing is underpinned by a dry humour, wry observations, and a poignant strain of melancholy perfect for our time. * BookBlast * Brave, naked, defiant and exquisitely written. -- Julie Myerson * The Spectator * Bracing and galvanising. -- Susie Boyt * Financial Times * Roberts writes with wit and honesty. * The Independent * Raw and glittering... Superb. -- Christina Patterson * The Sunday Times *
