Mail on Sunday
Who else has entered Tim's life the way Maud did? This young woman who fell past him, lay seemingly dead on the ground, then stood and walked. That was where it all began.
As magnetic as she is inscrutable, Maud defies expectations and evades explanation - a daughter, girlfriend and mother who, in the wake of a tragedy, embarks on a dangerous voyage across the Atlantic, not knowing where it will lead . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Getting caught up in Andrew Miller’s beautiful and hypnotic writing is like giving yourself over to ocean waves. The Crossing takes you through the story of Tim and Maud’s courtship to the end of their unhappy marriage and beyond. Maud is unlike any other character we’ve read; there’s nothing simple or warm about her and yet we found ourselves caring deeply as she embarks on a perilous adventure spurred by grief. Do yourself a favour and read The Crossing—it’s that good.
