Critics Review
I read Trespass in one go. So perceptive and clever. All the excitement of a thriller with the depth of a literary novel – Cathy RentzenbrinkAs memorable for her sharp and even funny social observation as it is for the powerful outrage that drives it – Phil Baker * Sunday Times *Provocative, moving and timely – Hephzibah Anderson * Mail on Sunday *A magnificent, nuanced and intricate novel. Trespass is as political as it is personal, both moving and psychologically fascinating – Sadie JonesA novel about love – and state-sanctioned impunity … Paranoid fantasy or reality? Brilliant, chilling – Helena Kennedy QCSome characters pull you in from the off and that’s exactly how I felt about Tess, a young climate activist who becomes pregnant by an older man who isn’t who he says he is * Good Housekeeping *
