'Devastatingly honest, heartbreaking and tender. As a portrait of a love affair, it is unflinching, but it also captures the small sacrifices of motherhood and marriage, and their rewards. This is the most extraordinary novel I have read in years in form, ambition and scope - an incredible achievement and an instant classic. I will read it again and again'

'Started Here Is The Beehive before bed, and couldn't put it down. Beautiful, beguiling, funny, sharp, dark. Impeccably crafted'
HOLLY BOURNE

'An unflinching take on the destructive power of obsessive love. It is also a highly original study of the grief that dare not speak its name – the grief of the other woman'
CHRISTINE DWYER HICKEY

'A searing portrait of addictive love and grief and the devastation human beings can wreak on each other. Her psychological insights into the human psyche are painfully astute. I really admire the pared back pristine prose and the beauty of the unsaid ... an addictive read, painful, unsettling, full of uncomfortable truths, yet the work itself resounds with its own unique bleak beauty'
LISA HARDING

‘I am knackered; I woke at 3am and began to read Sarah's book. You are quite right. I couldn't put it down. I just loved it. The prose is clean yet rich, her dialogue ear-perfect'
LOUISE KENNEDY

'A beautifully crafted sucker punch of a read. Sarah Crossan has always had an exquisite way with words and in this she uses poetic prose to craft an honest and oftentimes gritty exploration of two intertwined marriages, slowly unravelling. Painfully believable, passionate and occasionally heartbreaking, Here is the Beehive provides further proof that Sarah Crossan is an infinitely gifted writer'
