Media Reviews
The Rights of Desire is a book rooted in a place and a time where collective reality is taking a battering and where people are having to rely on themselves to make sense of what is coming into shape. Out of chaos always comes interesting art, and Brink is an excellent weather vane * Sunday Express *
A story that keeps one guessing until the end... An intelligent and gripping novel * Literary Review *
Achingly beautiful and moving... This is a splendid novel by a master of the craft * Scotsman *
