'An intense and intriguing novel that never quite lets the reader get comfortable. It understands about the fuzzy boundary between the normal and the strange, and weaves them together in a gripping, ever-darkening narrative'
Jenny Diski

‘…who wouldn’t kill for a comic gift like Jenn Ashworth’s?’
The Guardian

‘a hugely readable debut novel […] about the inability to know others and ourselves’
The Independent

First-person narrators can't die, so long as we keep telling the story of our own lives we're safe.
Pat Barker - The Ghost Road

...a faithful account of men and things as they have mirrored themselves in my mind, The mirror is doubtless defective; the outlines will sometimes be disturbed, the reflection faint or confused...
George Eliot - Adam Bede

'The duffer,' says the master, 'who in literature is known by the alias of narrator. And is no more nor less than the character you invent. To work the mark and purloin his confidence. By creating the right impressions.'
Christopher Wilson - Bluegrass

Certain things I remember exactly as they were. They are merely discoloured a bit by time, like coins in the pocket of a forgotten suit. Most of the details, though, have long since been transformed or rearranged to bring others of them forward. Some, in fact, are obviously counterfeit; they are no less important. One alters the past to form the future.
James Salter - A Sport and A Pastime

If this method of approach should result in the perception of uncanny perception, or disquieting multiscience, in the writer, the reader must bear with the assurance that it is entirely the product of hind-sight.
John Wyndham - The Midwich Cuckoos
