'Fuller handles the tension masterfully in this grown-up thriller of a fairytale, full of clues, questions and intrigue.' -The Times

'Extraordinary...From the opening sentence it is gripping' -Sunday Times

1976: Peggy Hillcoat is eight. She spends her summer camping with her father, playing her beloved record ofThe Railway Childrenand listening to her mother's grand piano, but her pretty life is about to change.

Her survivalist father, who has been stockpiling provisions for the end which is surely coming soon, takes her from London to a cabin in a remote European forest. There he tells Peggy the rest of the world has disappeared.

Her life is reduced to a piano which makes music but no sound, a forest where all that grows is a means of survival. And a tiny wooden hut that is Everything.

Recenzii

Extraordinary...From the opening sentence it isgripping...Fuller writes witha singing simplicitythat findsbeautyamid theterror...might well have you crying out for more.
Fuller handles the tensionmasterfullyin thisgrown-up thriller of a fairytale, full ofclues,questionsandintrigue.
Bewitching...arivetingly darktale...spellbinding.
Fuller'stwisted taleiscompulsive, treading the fine line betweencharmingandsinister. With itsdisturbing twist,Our Endless Numbered Dayscould well become a classic.
Rewardingly unsettling...as warped and sinister as any Brothers Grimm fairytale, thistautly written, tense novel isbrilliant at evokingboth thebewitching beautyof its setting - and its inherent dangers...haunting,suspensefulanddeftly written...memorably chilling.
Straightaway I was intriguedto find out where this novel was heading... Fuller evokes the natural world'sbeautyandbrutality.
A debut novel that brings to mind such unlikely bedfellows asThoreau'sWaldenandEmma Donoghue'sRoom...gripping.
I tore through it, found itutterly grippingand loved itshypnotic atmosphere. Thebeauty and pleasures of the natural worldpitted against theunravelling horrorsof isolation and insanityworked brilliantly.
Aremarkable first novel, I wasmuch impressedby theconvictionof the child's eye view, thevividclimate and thepower of the narrative.
Our Endless Numbered Days issuspenseful, utterly riveting, andas dark as midnight in the forest.
Excellent...I loved the combination of Peggy/Punzel's absolutely authentic child's precision for detail and her day-to-day matter-of-factness (often very funny) with the strangeness of the world she inhabited...very powerfully imagined...absolutely compelling.
Narrated withwarmthandcompassion,Our Endless Numbered Daysis ahauntingandbeautifulnovel.I loved every page.
