Trade Review"
The Blind Light is a page-perfect and impeccably structured portrait of Britain’s troubled, post-nuclear generations, and the pressures which have both tugged them apart and cemented them together. Stuart Evers has written a powerful and affecting novel which excels at being as true to Family and the personal as it is to Nation and the universal, a rare and potent combination." -- Jim Crace
"One is taken both by the breadth of vision and the depth of character on offer in Stuart Evers’ stunning
The Blind Light. Rarely does a novel of this scope sing with such brio at the level of the sentence while searing so emphatically in the region of the heart. This is an achievement to be admired and, frankly, envied. My hat is off." -- Laird Hunt, author of The Evening Road
"A thoroughly absorbing novel which illuminates the nature of friendship and family while offering a compelling portrait of Britain. I loved it." -- Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of The Last Act of Love
"A thoughtful and powerful study of the corrosive effects of fear, the damage we do to ourselves and our loved ones when danger is all we can see. Right now that story feels disconcertingly timely." -- Clare Clark - Guardian
"[E]ngrossing…with its slow burn, Evers's vivid, perceptive chronicle of secrets and desperation satisfies." -- Publishers Weekly
