Media Reviews
The Long Dry is undoubtedly an impressive debut -- Keith Hopper * TLS *
Lovely, poignant [and] resonant -- Sarah Waters
From first to last, through spare style, human empathy, and wonderfully observed detail, Jones attains a pitch of emotional involvement that is mesmerising. The effect is beautiful -- Tim Pears, author * In the Place of Fallen Leaves *
A truly wonderful book. Jones has a Faulknerian feel for landscape and his sentences carry you forward on their own peculiar beauty. Surely one of the best debut novels of recent years -- Jonathan Lee, author * Who is Mr Satoshi? *
A paean to the corruptibility of the flesh... characterised by moments of startling imagery and stirringly intense lyrical beauty. A wee, wonderful book -- Niall Griffiths
A convincing glimpse of life in all its beauty and sadness * Big Issue *
Bold and punctuated with some scintillating imagery, this is a near perfect debut * Western Mail *
Powerful... highly recommended * Library Journal *
