‘Entrancing. The Seed Collectors is a sharply observed contemporary novel of real people and real plants and real desire and real hurt, and it's somehow also one of the sharpest fantasies I've encountered. A sour-and-sweet delight.’ ——Neil Gaiman
‘A far-out botanical adventure. Barbed, casually genius, philosophical and intensely readable. A joy.’ ——Matt Haig
‘A baroque family saga of human fallibility, love, eccentricity, sex, spirituality, and of a lost, legendary, coincidentally lethal route to absolute transcendence. Scarlett Thomas is a splendid novelist.’ ——William Gibson
