Media Reviews
'An impressive debut novel. Mattu's dialogue is fresh and compelling, capturing his precisely-drawn characters perfectly. The London of the novel charms the reader, bursting with music and romance, while at the same time intimidating with its alcohol-soaked mysteries. This is a novel about revelations, but also about what remains hidden; it is also an at times painfully truthful account of life as a twentysomething trying to get by in an unforgiving metropolis.' - Dr. John Morton, Lecturer in English, University of Greenwich, UK Haunting and gripping ... I felt the transcending presence of London at every page corner. The people in the drama are almost epiphenomenona, inflammations of the urban tissue which eventually self-repairs in the serenity of the end of the day. - Paul Bouissac, Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto (Victoria College), Canada
