‘The Editor offers a delightful fictional glimpse of an iconic American family – but it is, at heart, a tribute to every family whose last name isn’t Kennedy’ Chloe Benjamin, author of The Immortalists
‘At equal turns laugh-out-loud funny and searingly poignant, Rowley has created a truly unforgettable story of a son trying to understand his mother’ Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones and the Six
‘The Editor is an absolute triumph! Rowley is a master of creating characters you fall in love with, and never want to leave’ Julie Klam, author of The Stars In Our Eyes and You Had Me at Woof
‘The Editor will have you weeping tears of joy when it’s not quietly breaking your heart’ Grant Ginder, author of The People We Hate at the Wedding
For my parents
In short, there’s simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
—Camelot, lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner
