Review

'Honest and sensitive, Twenty Years Together begs the question: why do we marry? Smith beautifully narrates both characters reconciling with their pasts, their families and the things they've kept concealed.' * Farrago Magazine *
'The right to marry is what we fought for. Many of us actively campaigned, marched, wrote to elected officials, signed petitions, striving for equality and never thought we would win. There are moments in Twenty Years Together that caught me off guard with their raw reliving of my own pre-marital ambivalence.' * DNA Magazine *
'[Twenty Years Together] will speak to couples of all persuasions thinking of marriage as the next step in their relationship.' -- Peter Gray * Good Reading *
'Tom Rob Smith has delivered a classic love story, where love is the greatest hope and equality is the greatest struggle . . .  A funny, gorgeous  and  quietly revolutionary love story.' -- Eli Beverley-Schack * Sydney Arts Guide *
'Tom Rob Smith has crafted a love story which will appeal to all readers who enjoy reading . . . Danny is an engaging and sensitive characters and readers cannot help but care for him as he seeks validation of his love for Luis. Well recommended.' -- Rod McLary * Queensland Reviewers' Collective *
