Críticas:

Half In Love has the invigorating feel and racing pace of any good love story - Hampstead and Highgate Express Cartwright's tender, ironic, but ultimately optimistic dissection of human love is as shrewd and unshrinking as his conclusions about politics and journalism... Half in Love is a marvel of compression, of characterisation and of tightly cast thought. It is also very moving and utterly gripping, to which the author has cleverly added a sly whiff of the roman-a-clef. - The Times Half in Love is a marvellous novel, serious, moving, compelling, wholly credible. - Weekend Scotsman Intelligent and lucid - The Times Cartwright has an unfashionable ear for sincerity, which ambushes modern readers used to seeing the false and flaky exposed. - Saturday Telegraph This fine novel is also a powerful, irrestibly page-turning love-story. - Harpers & Queen [An] urbanely intelligent story of political and sexual manners - The Sunday Times An absorbing novel... the writing is elegant and crisp - Sunday Telegraph
