'Barnett has that rare talent, like Curtis Sittenfeld or Kate
Atkinson, of building up the mundane aspects of everyday life until
they acquire meaning' THE TIMES 'Barnett excels herself in this
mesmerising ballad of a book...Greatest Hits is not just about
music, it's about people: their ambitions, friendships and flaws.
An absolute must read' STYLIST If you could choose just sixteen
moments to define your entire life, what would they be? Cass
Wheeler has seen it all - from the searing heights of success, to
earth-shattering moments of despair. She has known passion, envy,
pride, fear, and love. She has been a daughter, a mother, a singer,
a lover. A musician born in 1950, Cass is now taking one day to
select the sixteen songs in her repertoire that have meant the most
to her. And behind each song lies a story - from the day her mother
abandoned her, to her passionate first love, to the moment she lost
everything. The dreams, the failures, the second chances. But what
made her disappear so suddenly from her public life and, most
importantly, can she find her way back? 'The mother/daughter
relationship is the most moving aspect ofthis excellent book...This
engaging, emotionally charged novel about music,motherhood and
mental illness deserves to be a hit' OBSERVER What readers are
saying about GREATEST HITS: 'A brilliant and unusual read...There
is real emotional power to Cass's story and you really feel it in
the narrative....It gives an unfiltered personal history, with joy,
love, failures, regrets and all that it takes to live delivered
beautifully' Goodreads 5 star review 'Truly, truly wonderful in
every way imaginable and I can't recommend it highly enough'

The Versions of Us which I also adored' Goodreads 5 star review 'A
truly unique and memorable novel. Definitely one of the best novels
so far this year' Goodreads 5 star review 'Filled with characters
who burst from the page, dealing with almost unbearable sorrows and
incredible highs, Greatest Hits is an absolute triumph. I loved
every single page' Goodreads 5 star review
