Reviews
'This eloquent heart-felt debut pulls the reader right beside him and announces Ransom as a writer of real talent.' Guardian. 'A stunning achievement - one of the most impressive and assured debuts I've ever read.' Matt Cain. 'If you only read one debut novel this year make it this one' Attitude Magazine. 'Raw, uncompromising, and authentic, a remarkable debut from an astonishingly gifted writer' Golnoosh Nour. 'It's a fine work of queer literature'. Damian Barr's Literary Salon. 'A bold, brilliant and beautiful debut'. Suzannah Dunn. 'This guy is an incredible new talent. A short book that punches well above its weight: explicit, brutal and moving'. Isabel Costello. 'Seldom, outside the realms of gay royalty like Alan Hollinghurst, have I read a novel about gay people so well written. I can't recall the last time I read a novel with such a sense of place. This is a story that lives on long after the last full stop. And deserves to be read'. Charles Coussens
