Reviews
"I was so moved and humbled by this beautifully crafted novel that I held it in my hands after finishing for a moment of thanks. In frank and straightforward prose, A Family Matter captures the heart-gripping consequences of forbidden love and reminds us that while the world is far from perfect there are among us decent people who are trying, little by little, to make it better." --Mary Beth Keane, author of Ask Again, Yes "I smiled. I cried. I raged. Claire Lynch has written an un-put-downable novel, and I want everyone to read it. Lynch takes part of our recent history of shame and stigma, and makes it real and beautiful and moving and challenging. Every page sings out with empathy and love, pain and honesty. And the writing - so precise, so deceptively simple, so beautiful in its tiny moments--makes the pages speed by. This book will make you look differently at the world." --Emilie Pine, author of Notes to Self, "Raises thoughtful and heartbreaking questions.... An affecting exploration of the shelf-life of love." -- Kirkus "A beautifully written, quiet yet devastating rebuke to an era of cruel prejudice, A Family Matter made me weep like a baby." --Emma Donoghue "A triumph! Like the great Maggie O'Farrell, Claire Lynch deals brilliantly with both big themes and small moments. I can't express how impressed I was by A Family Matter . It is, in a word, perfect." -- Elin Hilderbrand "A wonderful novel, absolutely gripping... Lynch manages to be damning about a culture and a system while being compassionate towards the human beings pitted against each other inside that system." --Mark Haddon "I was so moved and humbled by this beautifully crafted novel that I held it in my hands after finishing for a moment of thanks. In frank and straightforward prose, A Family Matter captures the heart-gripping consequences of forbidden love and reminds us that while the world is far from perfect there are among us decent people who are trying, little by little, to make it better." --Mary Beth Keane, author of Ask Again, Yes "Claire Lynch takes elements of shame and stigma in our recent history and turns them into fiction that is beautiful, moving, and challenging. Every page sings out with empathy and love, pain and honesty. This unputdownable book--so precise, so deceptively simple, so beautiful in its tiny moments--will change the way you look at the world." --Emilie Pine, author of Notes to Self "I was caught up in this story of restraint and things unsaid from the first page. I loved the fact that there were no heroes or villains, and the novel's combination of hope for the future with an awareness of how much has been lost is perfect." --Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures "I was blown away by this book. To tackle heart-wrenching emotion with such precision and restraint takes one hell of a talent. A Family Matter is an impeccable debut that turns the mess of life into something beautiful. A timely reminder of love's redemptive power." --Lotte Jeffs, author of This Love, "A beautifully written, quiet yet devastating rebuke to an era of cruel prejudice, A Family Matter made me weep like a baby." --Emma Donoghue "A triumph!

A fast-paced, quickly consuming read that interrogates what happens when we follow rules designed to oppress rather than protect." -- USA Today "A searching story of family, love, and loss...raises thoughtful and heartbreaking questions about what really is in a child's best interest. An affecting exploration of the shelf life of love." -- Kirkus "Poignant... a story of hope and healing from a talented writer." -- Booklist "A beautifully written, quiet yet devastating rebuke to an era of cruel prejudice, A Family Matter made me weep like a baby." --Emma Donoghue "A triumph!
