What They're Saying
Critics Review
Noir has an anarchic new voice * Sarah Hilary *A brilliant, beautiful, sad, funny book … It made me laugh, but it also made me cry more than any other book I’ve read this year * Emma Flint, author of Little Deaths *Tall Oaks is a pleasingly unusual mixture of psychological thriller and screwball comedy from a young writer who is clearly not afraid to take risks … its combination of verve, humour and pathos make it well worth a read. An absolute delight … highly original – Laura Wilson * The Guardian *A perpetually fascinating read * Heat *It’s rare that a novel can be both brilliantly comic and tragic, and balance the two so effortlessly but this tale does exactly that - with a tense rollercoaster of a story. A fine debut – Jade Craddock * Sun *
