Reviews
"What a beautiful, illuminating and deeply humane novel Susie Boyt has given us--her prose glorious, her characters alive upon the page, their voices and gestures utterly vivid. Loved and Missed , rich like life itself in sorrow, comedy and joy, is a triumph." --Claire Messud " Loved and Missed is a story of parental love and human failing that's more funny than it has any right to be, more heartbreaking than you think you can bear; it's the sort of book you can't wait to recommend to everyone you know, the sort of book we are lucky to have." --Rumaan Alam "Susie Boyt is an extraordinary novelist of the inner life. Loved and Missed is her most masterful, most fearless book yet." --Joseph O'Neill "Loved and Missed deftly sidesteps the clichés that often plague stories involving drug abuse, and it conveys the complexities of loving someone who can't love you back with remarkable delicacy." --Mia Levitin, Financial Times "This beautiful tale of love, courage and compassion ... captures the pain of estrangement in penetrating, haunting language.... Loved and Missed is a complex, deeply moving novel about frailty and suffering. Despite all the sadness, hope remains." --Martin Chilton, Independent "Boyt is both funny ... and poignant ... but never less than impeccably truthful, with a broad, oft breathtaking wisdom." --Emily Hourican, Irish Independent "Boyt's novel is compelling--and invites our compassion for those who may not always earn it, but still deserve it." --Marianka Swain, Daily Telegraph "Always surprising--unexpected, particular, the thing you didn't know you wanted, but needed more than anything. A tender study of unrequited maternal love redeemed ultimately by the quiet glory of not giving up." --Tamsin Greig "Boyt's writing is perceptive and emotionally powerful." -- MSN "I adored Susie Boyt's novel Loved And Missed , which explores what can happen when, out of the blue, addiction and dereliction arrive to wreck a family. And how goodwill, determination and encouragement can ultimately put things back together again." --Rev Richard Coles, Daily Mail, "Susie Boyt is an extraordinary novelist of the inner life.

Synopsis
With her daughter in the throes of drug addiction, a mother takes over the care of her granddaughter--and is transformed by the bond that forms between them--in this warm, sharp-witted, and psychologically acute story of familial love by a praised British novelist. Ruth is a woman who believes in and despairs of the curative power of love. Her daughter, Eleanor, who is addicted to drugs, has just had a baby, Lily. Ruth adjusts herself in ways large and small to give to Eleanor what she thinks she may need--nourishment, distance, affection--but all her gifts fall short. After someone dies of an overdose in Eleanor's apartment, Ruth hands her daughter an envelope of cash and takes Lily home with her, and Lily, as she grows, proves a compensation for all of Ruth's past defeats and disappointment. Love without fear is a new feeling for her, almost unrecognizable. Will it last? Love and Missed is a whip-smart, incisive, and mordantly witty novel about love's gains and missteps. British writer Susie Boyt's seventh novel, and the first to be published in the United States, is a triumph.
