Reviews
It is rare to read a novel that pulses with such pleasure that you don't want it to end, but this is what Redhill's debut delivers * Independent *
A deeply moving first novel... profound and full of affection. It is a book of constant surprises. * Michael Ondaatje *
Beautifully structured, and shards of cleverness and humour run through it... hard to put down * TLS *
Reading "Martin Sloane" made me feel melancholic, hopeful, amused, energized, enlightened, unnerved, touched, and finally grateful that occasionally a writer comes along who gets real life just right. * New York Times *
Redhill [has] a gift for studied lyricism, a complex kind of emotional intelligence and, most of all, a poet's understanding of the workings of time... a powerful meditation on the implications of memory and the vacancies opened up by the loss of love... Redhill paces this sad and oblique detective story with great heart and delicacy. * Observer *
