Powerfully voices the concerns of a generation. This is clearly a writer of great talent. It's unusual to find a young male writer who can write with such sensitivity and maturity. Already recognised as a major rising talent, Mankowski has established himself as a significant voice in British fiction. ~ Andrew Crumey, Man Booker longlisted author of Sputnik Caledonia

An author who I've been reading for many years. He combines the genres of thriller with literary fiction, and this is his best book yet. Perceptive and intimate, you will want to savour every line in this timely book. Mankowski takes me into the world of this novel with such sensitivity, his writing is so poised it's a pleasure to read. Reminded me of The Talented Mr Ripley. ~ Ruth Dugdall, bestselling author of My Sister and Other Liars and the Cate Austin series

'Guy Mankowski is the heir to the ground between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Graham Greene.' ~ Daniel Gothard, author of 'Reunited'

Mankowski writes with passion and intelligence, from meditations on the sublime to exploring complex emotional territories, we are shown his worlds through a unique lens of psychological inquiry. ~ Shaun Wilson, Northern Writers Award-winning author of 'Malcs Boy'
