Product Description
Review
'subversive, funny and imaginative' (The Memory Prisoner) (The Observer )
'funny and tragic, but always gripping' (The Memory Prisoner) (The London Parents Guide )
'Bloor is to be congratulated on creating a genuine heroine, stout in courage, as well as size.' (The Memory Prisoner) (Nick Tucker, The Independent )
'If Royston Vasey had had a public library it might have resembled the one in Thomas Bloor's The Memory Prisoner... Bloor never wastes a word communicating his nightmare, contriving all at once to be moving, alarming and funny. It takes a while to adjust to the extreme oddity of this short novel as there is nothing to compare it with. Sooner or later someone is going to mention Kafka, but I will eschew the K word except to remark that what most people forget about Kafka is his lethal matter-of-factness.' (Jan Mark, TES )
'...a bizarrely comic account ...' (The Memory Prisoner) (The Guardian )
'a dark gothic fantasy, reminiscent of Mervyn Peake' (The Memory Prisoner) (The Herald )
'funny and tragic, but always gripping' (The Memory Prisoner) (The London Parents Guide )
