"Her vision of slightly altered late-70s Britain, one that has become rapidly tawdry, bleak and cruel for the sake of a few limited advancements, is powerful."

An alternate history, a bildungsroman, a mystery to solve, a #YeahNoir thriller, a cautionary tale, a vivid description of the self-serving cruelty of those in power - The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey My Review: tinyurl.com/evtmvt6e #ReadNZ #AotearoaReads Te Herenga Waka University Press




Thanks Adam Wyeth and The Irish Times for this brilliant review of #TheBookofGuilt: "a singular story that lingers...a novel of conscience and consequence: quietly devastating, fiercely intelligent and unforgettable" John Murray Press irishtimes.com/culture/books/…
