«His finest and most important work to date»

Cathi Unsworth, author of <i>Weirdo</i>

«Cunnell’s prose is elegantly punchy . . . The valour of his fight is revealed in a story of what can happen when truth is considered idealism and collides with the predatory designs of a property developer. A fine book»

John Healy, author of <i>The Grass Arena</i>

«Loving in its exploration of creative survival and loss of human habitat. Every fleck and dab of verbal pigment rewards the eye and enriches the design»

Adam Mars-Jones, author of <i>Box Hill</i>

«A novel of muscular, dark prose with more than a little compassion for damaged lives. I loved it»

Ned Boulting, author of <i>On the Road Bike</i>

«It’s a timely novel, but it also seems to wear its big issues lightly. The particularity and peculiarity of the setting and cast really brought it to life and gripped me»

Sara Baume, author of <i>spill simmer falter wither</i>

«Brilliantly plotted and the final act knocked me sideways. Huge themes told through the personal stories of very real people. It was a delight and revelation to read»
