Review
""
“Cleave has achieved something rare. . . . [The narrator] will break your heart and remind you how, in the face of the uncontrollable and the inexplicable, humor can allow one to survive.”
—"San Francisco Chronicle"
""
“An audacious, provocative voice . . . [Cleave] has a clear and disturbing vision of the psychological effects of an attack on a city population.” —"The New York Times Book Review"
“Fiction can be a highly effective way of depicting terror... because fine writing – and "Incendiary" is a very fine example – is such an eloquent human instrument.” —"The Economist"
“Cleave...has a phenomenal talent for melodrama, a dishy, vicious sense of humor, and a sprinter’s force as a writer.” —"New York Observer"
“Sensitive, artful, and deft. . . . Cleave’s Orwellian look at the way we live is hyper-realistic, his narrator true to the point where one can almost hear her ragged breathing, smell the gin and tears on her breath. . . . A near-perfect debut that will give the reader nightmares that may seem far too real on waking.”—"The Sun" (Baltimore)
“The eloquence of Cleave’s heroine is equal to the atrocity that claims her family. She is by turns funny, sad, flawed, sympathetic, both damaged and indomitable, and triumphantly
convincing. ... The unnamed ‘I’ of "Incendiary" is a true survivor.” —"The Sunday Telegraph" (London)
