Reviews

"Brilliant, tender, a stylistic dazzler." —Hilary Mantel

"A dazzling achievement." —Time Out

"Morvern is a brilliant creation; a fearlessly cool and sassy party chick propelled by her own delicious morality...establishes Alan Warner as one of the most talented, original and interesting voices around." —Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting

"Morvern is a compelling creation; elusive, enigmatic and opaque. Both ordinary and extraordinary, she gleams out like onyx from a vivid, macabre and lyrical book.… She is impossible to forget." —The Guardian
