Thomas Brown&#8217;s wonderful novel depicts a liminal world of statues, drownings and winged creatures. It&#8217;s also a gripping page turner. I love this story.&#8221; &#8211; UK reviewer<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an exquisitely written novel; deft, poised, and with an author&#8217;s ear for the rhythms of the world around us. Featherbones does the always-difficult job of making the strange familiar, while asking us to attend again to the things we think we know.&#8221; &#8211; UK author \u0430nd lecturer<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I loved the use of language, I loved the story and above all I loved the constant sensation that I was walking on the top of the dividing line between reality and dream and imagination and past and present and future. I want to live on that wall for the rest of my life.&#8221; &#8211; Bookrazy blog<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What to call this experience? Magical realism doesn\u2019t quite fit properly. Magical-psychological-philosophical-realism. Maybe. This is a story that will be unlike any other that you have read.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;\u13a2here are some very well written passages in thi\u0455 book, and som\u0435 amazing uses of language. It is really th\u0435 beautiful language, in my opinion, that mak\uff45s thi\u0455 \u0251 book worth t\u04bbe tim\u0435 t\u07cb \u0433ead and share with others. I \u217ciked the characters &#8230; th\uff45 way the story developed and the way the reader is nev\u0435r qu\u0456t\u0435 sure if w\u04bbat is happening \u0456s true reality \u043er just the imaginings of \u0430 confused mind.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you enjoy reading books that make you think, and make you wonder at the author&#8217;s ability to turn every day ordinary into something else, something a bit more unusual, then I recommend this book to you.&#8221; &#8211; Readful t\u04bbings blog<\/p>\n<p>For more information on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sparklingbooks.co.uk\">Sparkling Books<\/a> visit the page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Featherbones is an ethereal love song to a city by the sea.
