Description
Endorsements:
“It felt an absolute privilege to read this. For me, it is a little gem, a jewel. It is minutely observed, the characterisation is really very good, and I just loved it.”
Sarah Bird, Editorial Consultant
Praise for C. J. Allan’s first book, Gerald and Breena & Rose published by Faber & Faber:
“Here in one volume are two short novels dew-fresh in themes and very readable.”
Daily Mirror
“Catherine Allan has written two unusual stories which bite off attention with sharp, compact-concrete economy.”
Sunday Times
“This book is beautifully written, with penetrating insights and evoking pictures in the mind as one reads.”
Church Times
“The two novellas have a deceptively simple clarity and directness and (for a new writer) a remarkable authority … the impressive thing is the core of psychological or even anthropological toughness they conceal.”
Guardian
“Allan has the steady ripple of the story-teller.”
Books and Bookman
“C. J. Allan here provides us with a sympathetic and adult view of childhood”.
Oxford Mail
