The Lightman System
"Time is both cruel and kind, chance is more cruel than kind, and trying to defeat both is hard.
The Lightman System is a supreme example of how fiction can tell this story."
- Stephen Fry
"A lyrical and upsettingly accurate work ... the beauty of the writing provides its own redemption."
- Adam Thorpe
"The story uncovers the subtle workings of a family dynamic (the things withheld, the things inferred, the psychological and emotional coding) and even when events take a terrifying turn, the distinctive blend of restraint, vividness, humour and compassion make this a compellingly enjoyable read. I was moved to tears by the ending.
The Lightman System is a deeply involving, wise, wonderfully-written book."
- Amelia Bullmore
My novel The Lightman System is now published by Wrecking Ball Press.
