Reviews for The Republic of Trees
"'Sam Taylor clearly relishes storytelling and his novel has the kind of swift pace that's rare in literary fiction, sweeping you up and carrying you to a place where anything might happen.' Daily Mail 'An enchanting and deeply disturbing first novel... sensitive, at times beautiful.' Observer 'A bold debut, and one wants to see what Taylor does next.' Independent"
