Review:
"The past grabs hold and will not let you go in this uncanny and beautiful novel. Strange and delicious in the manner of Rebecca." Sarah Blake, author of The Postmistress "Poised, well-written, richly detailed." - Ben Okri "We All Ran Into the Sunlight is the sort of intricate invention that only a few masters - like Ian McEwan or Graham Greene - could assemble. This novel will mesmerize you - and it will break your heart." Stefan Merrill Block, author of The Story of Forgetting "Bold and original... Natalie Young captures beautifully the character of a small French town, porous to every drop of gossip but presenting an impenetrable surface to outsiders." Helen Dunmore "Natalie Young has created a near-Gothic story of obsession and desire, set against the background of a sinister chateau. Definitely not for the faint-hearted... A true tour de force." Mavis Cheek
