Praise for Derek Beaven:
'Beaven has the gift for creating insistently human individuals who prove to be illuminating under pressure ... a fine engagement with the largest and smallest details of what it is to be English.'
Lavinia Greenlaw, TLS
'He gives us all the uncertainty, liveliness, rumours and unheroic struggles of the present ... as clear as a Vermeer mirror.'
David Robertson, Scotsman
'Large, deft, prickly and ambitious. His work practically explodes with narrative assurance.'
Julie Myerson, Guardian

‘Not since I first read Jim Crace have I been so much impressed by a novelist recently embarked on his career.’ Francis King
‘Beaven is reminiscent of William Faulkner ... distinctive and unforgettable.’ David Horspool, Daily Telegraph
