Recenzii
“This intense and intricate novel charts the fascinating, often frightening lives of three families in suburban Britain. Daniel Clay shows a masterful empathy for his characters, while never shying from their frailties and agonies. BROKEN is surprising, shocking, and cruelly funny at times. It’s an unforgettable book.” — Scott Heim, author of MYSTERIOUS SKIN and WE DISAPPEAR
“Clay’s debut novel is remarkably controlled and disciplined as it depicts those who spiral out of control.... Clay succeeds in inciting pity even for a murderer [and his] triumph is in exploring the kindness and love that might heal and restore – and what it is to feel fully alive.” — The Independent
“Daniel Clay tells the truth about childhood in the modern world, and captures all the elements of a great novel: suspense, desperation, love, and death.” — Amy Bryant, author of POLLY
“Bold, prescient, engaging.” — The Guardian
“It’s funny and sad and moving.” — The Observer
