Reviews for The Beautiful Screaming of Pigs: Author of the 2021 Booker Prize-winning novel THE PROMISE
An astonishingly sensitive writer.
Irish Times
Engaging and enduring... devastating in the lucidity and austere assurance of its prose.
TLS
A work whose psychological observation is as subtle as its political analysis.
The Times
A beautifully written and thoughtful meditation on love, loss and longing.
