Trade Review

‘There are many good things here: it’s bold, prescient, engaging and oddly touching.’ Guardian

‘A seething indignation propels the narrative to its violent conclusion.’ Arena

‘This is a novel whose plot and vivid, pared-down imagery bravely patrol the terrifying border at which the human blurs into the bestial and inanimate…remarkably controlled and disciplined…Clay’s triumph is in exploring the kindness and love that might heal and restore – and what it is to feel fully alive.’ Anita Sethi, Independent

‘It’s funny and sad and moving…and ultimately very engaging.’ Francesca Segal, Observer

‘A moving, intriguing and at times funny debut novel.’ Daily Express
