Reviews
“Parnell’s work is that rare beast – tender and brutal, beautiful and raw. Her prose sings off the page, though it’s with the voice of a debauched choir boy.”
— Heidi James, author of Wounding
“A compelling debut novel. Raw and violent, yet passionate, lyrical and beautifully written.”
— Vesna Goldsworthy, aauthor of Gorsky and Chernobyl Strawberries
“Lindsay Parnell’s dialogue has a startling and exciting immediacy. Her American South has its literary roots in Flannery O’Connor and Eudora Welty, but with a difference. Her characters swear a lot, smoke a lot, drink a lot, and do everything to believable excess. This is a really promising debut.”
— Paul Bailey, Booker-shortlisted author of Chapman’s Odyssey and The Prince’s Boy
