About Untold Night and Day
The Guardian : Untold Night and Day by Bae Suah review – surrealism in Seoul (March 18, 2020)To read this novel of shrouded pilgrimages is also to arrive at a meaning that is “bewitching, and utterly private, a secret for me, a single ship, a single concealed place”.

The Guardian : Unspeakable: The Things We Cannot Say by Harriet Shawcross – review (February 24, 2019)Shawcross can certainly write – there are some lovely images in Unspeakable – and she is obviously in possession of a curious and interesting mind.

About The Little Snake
The Guardian : The Little Snake by AL Kennedy review – charming lessons in life, death and kindness (January 13, 2019)What The Little Snake is about more than anything, though, is the acceptance of death as an ineluctable part of life.

The Guardian : The Black Prince by Adam Roberts review – wonderful homage to Anthony Burgess (November 17, 2018)The Black Prince is anything but a grim read.
