Media Reviews
It's refreshing to come across an English novelist who knows exactly what he's doing and does it resoundingly well. Wakefield's is a welcome return to simplicity of style and construction * Peter Ackroyd *
There can be no doubt that we are in the hands of a finely perceptive and sensitive writer -- Hilary Bailey * Guardian *
He manages to construct a character, ordinary and everyday on the outside, with a rich and individual interior...[exerting] much more control over events than is at first apparent, weaving a complex structure out of the simplest, most direct observations and intuitions -- Alan Brien * Sunday Times *
