Trade Review
Like To Kill a Mockingbird rewritten from the viewpoint of Boo Radley * Scotland on Sunday *
Supremely well imagined...Frequently brilliant and consistently unsettling, Summer of the Cicada will remain with you for quite a while * Independent *
The opening scene of Summer of the Cicada lodges itself in the mind and stays there until the final page... the ferocity of the violence, combined with the matter-of-fact way the scene unfolds, leaves an unforgettble impression... It is a measure of the artistry Will Napier brings to his first novel that the harrowing subject matter does not make for a depressing read * Sunday Telegraph *
Brilliantly disturbing * Scotsman *
