#&39;On an overstretched earth, sustainability is sacred and the elderly are made to feel as if they have overstayed their welcome. Gripping, fast-moving and tightly plotted, Overdrawn imagines a future in which we can no longer afford the luxury of old age#&39; Heather Child, author of Everything About You
#&39;Crosskey is a genius - I don#&39;t know how many of these convincing, terrifying dystopias she has lined up, but I want to read them all. Overdrawn is flawless. It#&39;s a compelling page-turner, an astute exploration of society#&39;s attitude towards the ageing and the sick, and a beautiful portrait of connection between lost human beings. I truly loved it#&39; Laura Pearson, author of Missing Pieces and Nobody’s Wife
#&39;In Overdrawn, Crosskey creates a dystopian Britain in which the ageing population is neither valued nor tolerated. Compelling, unsettling - I couldn’t put it down#&39; Joanne Burn, author of Petals and Stones
‘Crosskey takes the tricky subjects of ageing and dementia and spins something so inventive and heartrending. Wonderful characters, beautiful writing, this book is a total gem’ Clare Empson, author of Him
