Critics Review
[A] beautifully observed heart-wringer… for me there was no better novel published in 2022. * Daily Mail, Books of the Year *
There can be no doubt he’s one of our best novelists…Dealing sensitively with love, ambition and duty - not to mention the bodily experience of womanhood, from youth to late middle age…absolutely not to be missed. – Anthony Cummings * Daily Mail *
Ross Raisin’s deeply thought out and beautifully unshowy fourth novel… is a superb achievement. * Guardian, Book of the Day *
Raisin is ambitious…and impressive in his execution. * Financial Times *
Raisin’s… most ambitious achievement yet… The attention to detail with which Anita is drawn means she steps outside the pages and lives enduringly in the reader’s mind. – John Self * Observer *
A touching human story. * Mail on Sunday *
Ross Raisin should be a literary superstar … His new novel A Hunger is his best yet … A novel that shows us how it’s done, a book that sinks in and stays there … He should be read by everyone interested in what fiction can do. – John Self, Critic
Brilliantly written. * Islington Tribune *
