London Book Award nomination Zoe Strachan: 'This novel is a recurring homage to the power and curse of memory.'

Scottish Review of Books on Ever Fallen in Love: “This novel is a recurring homage to the power and curse of memory. Strachan’s writing on the passing of youth is moving and accurate. There is no doubt this is a hard-boiled book and it pulls no punches . . . she writes in great detail about the psychology of her protagonists with objectivity and perception. The incredible trick Strachan pulls off is that we do end up identifying with her introverted hero Richard, mainly because his journey is so complex and constantly blighted by his hopeless sexual obsessions.”

Novelist, journalist and essayist Strachan is a one-time winner of the Betty Trask award. With fellow contemporary Scotlit writer Louise Welsh, Strachan co-wrote a play, Panic Patterns, which had a successful run at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow. Strachan is also a tutor on the University of Glasgow’s Creative Writing course.
