“This novel exudes a wonderfully vivid sense of place and leads the reader inside the head of its teenage hero…it’s a narrative of depth that also manages to be instantly engaging “ (Ian Rankin)


“Fascinating; unashamedly, brilliantly intelligent …A really playful, pleasurable book” (Sarah Perry)


“It’s eccentric, profound, timely, specific but it also has global concerns and a really brilliant central character” ( Max Porter)
