An Unremarkable Body (Paperback)

'Tender and moving, this part-thriller, part-memoir will leave you floored.' - Emerald Street

'A haunting debut about grief, loss and motherhood - and a woman's identity beyond that role.' - The Pool

'This novel pulls you in and will have you racing to reach the end.' - Good Housekeeping 

'A sensitive examination of a life frustrated by mores and circumstance.' - The Daily Mail

'An elegant, haunting book with a flawed narrator, troubled relationships, and a mystery at the heart... Lodato's writing is spare, confident and affecting. A compelling read.' - Joanna Barnard, author of Precocious and Hush Little Baby

'An incredibly moving story of maternal love, sacrifice, and how little we know about those closest to us. This beautifully-written novel had me gripped until the last page.' - Chloe Mayer, author of The Boy Made of Snow

'An Unremarkable Body is infused with sadness but avoids being morbid or cloying. It is written with verve, pace and sensitivity. A fabulous debut that also delivers an amazing twist as a final flourish.' - The People 

'An Unremarkable Body is a well-crafted story of grief and loss. Beautiful, sensitive, and poignant.' - Clarissa Goenawan, author of Rainbirds

'An uplifting story.' - Grazia

'Pleasingly distinct... the structuring of the chapters by means of an introductory extract from the autopsy report is a rather ingenious one... this organizational quirkiness sets Lodato's work apart from the start... a novel that shows notable promise... I'm already intrigued to see what Lodato writes next.'  - The Independent

'A beautifully told tale of love and loss, which ever so gently reaffirms that no life is indeed unremarkable... Lodato probes the secrets that are scattered through one character's life and draws us into her world... absorbing and compelling... startlingly bittersweet... I couldn't stop reading and now I'm done I wish I could read it all over again.' - Ronnie Turner, book blogger

'An Unremarkable Body is clever, evocative and sensitively written. There's so much to love about this book. These characters will creep into your thoughts.' - Polly Courtney, author of Feral Youth

'Lodato's skill is that of Katharine's pathologist; precise, delicate and thorough. A tender dissection of brutal truths.' - Dexter Petley, author of White Lies
