Reviews 

There is something anachronistic and perhaps even a little nostalgic about the idea of a novel in letters, but Walker turns these qualities to her advantage. The combination of intimacy and formality that defines a personal letter allows her to present the novel as a series of set pieces. Each letter blends directness of address with the fluidity of reflection: they slip back and forth between the first and second person, and often digress to give accounts of dreams. Though one character explicitly denies she is anything like Virginia Woolf, the technique is somewhat reminiscent Woolf's in The Waves, in which a small cast of characters deliver a series of stylised monologues.

This is a debut novel that has a powerful structure. It calls out to all of us rushing from one place to another, texting, tweeting and emailing, and reminds us that the time taken to construct a letter is as important and compelling as what is being written. To take pen to paper, and to reflect sentiment in a passage, seems a more satisfactory and legitimate record of what devotion means and why. Walker has created a cast of characters that invoke the meaning of relationships, here, now and long gone.

The book is simply the best first novel I have read in a decade or more, discussing the darkness that comes with being an outsider, with a tenderness and insight that is astounding. It is a novel good enough to make you weep, to make you laugh, and to amaze you with the wondrous fullness of the characters.

Walker’s use of the epistolary form is perfect for this ‘ordinary poetry’ that illuminates universal love. Wise and intelligent, her novel deserves to be slowly savoured.

Yvette Walker’s LETTERS TO THE END OF LOVE ... is a successful example of the trend for tripartite fiction that started with Patrick McGrath’s Ghost Town (2005). ... The exquisite, luminous prose makes the book a joy to read.

 Don’t be put off by the story being told through letters. The structure works well and the writing is extremely beautiful and accomplished. This is a novel about love and what it means when it might be coming to an end. It’s haunting and touching, sad, yet wry and witty, and very skillfully imagined.
