What the critics say…

"The book is worthy of birds, and I know no higher praise." Charles Foster on As Kingfishers Catch Fire

"A thrilling and memorable first novel." Kazuo Ishiguro on This Bleeding City

“A moving and powerful debut – the best fictional evocation of the despair of materialism so far” - Oliver James, author of Affluenza, on This Bleeding City

"A cleverly conceived novel... It's intensely readable... The book is intelligently questioning and analytical about religion generally and Christianity specifically." Viv Groskop in The Observer on The Revelations
