Everyone and Everything

Nadine J Cohen

A dazzling literary debut, Everyone and Everything will make you laugh, cry and call your sister.

When Yael Silver’s world comes crashing down, she looks to the past for answers and finds solace in surprising places. An unconventional new friendship, a seaside safe space and an unsettling amount of dairy help her to heal, as she wrestles with her demons – and some truly terrible erotic literature.

Funny and tender, Everyone and Everything is about friendship, grief and the deep, frustrating bond between sisters. It asks what makes us who we are and what leads us onto ledges. Perfect for fans of Sorrow and Bliss, Nora Ephron and Victoria Hannan, this is an intimate, wry and wise exploration of one woman’s journey to the brink and back.

Everyone and Everything hits the right balane of absurdity and dark humour, essential for a book in which the centarl theme is death.

A dazzling literary debut ... it's the novel I never knew I needed but now know I'll neer forget.

- Better Reading

Cohen writes exquisitely about sadness, especially about intergenerational trauma and the unimaginable grief of successive loss.
