Sunjeev Sahota, author of The Year of the RunawaysThe house is on Montpelier Parade: just across town, but it might as well be a different world.

Vera.Chance meetings become shy arrangements, and soon Sonny is in love for the first time. Casting off his lonely life of dreams and quiet violence for this new, intoxicating encounter, he longs to know Vera, even to save her.

Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
A delicate, crystalline, hugely impressive novel by Karl Geary. He's yet another masterful younger writer coming through. But these writers aren't just promising, they are arriving fully fledged, like a bunch of Hemingways and Waughs. (A pride of Hemingways?) This is language on the side of life, suggesting life, giving life. Wonderful. Sebastian Barrymehr
