Reviews
Georgina Harding's novel is the finely tuned work of a writer exceptionally at ease with her craft and a testament to the power and poetry of clean and disciplined prose -- Sadie Jones * Guardian *
Quietly and restrainedly, The Gun Room is a book that provokes searching questions * Daily Mail *
Graceful and considered ... The dreamlike quality is heightened by Harding's sharply observed prose ... As befits a writer adept at carefully cropped scenes, Harding has the measure of photography. The novel plays with its ability to captivate, shock, inform and misdirect * Sunday Telegraph *
In delicate, hypnotic prose, Harding describes the devastating effects of war and the trauma of bearing witness * Sunday Express *
A moving story * Elle Summer Reading *
Harding has the descriptive skills to do her subject justice ... Elegant * Mail on Sunday *
Her writing is so gentle and beautiful and takes you so confidently on a journey. I let myself be carried away -- Esther Freud
