Review:
'Wyld [is] shaping up into a name to watch...her second novel is unsettling, dark and extraordinarily fresh...if you’ve been waiting for a cross between Nicola Barker and Christos Tsiolkas, this is it. Although, better than that, it’s an inimitable, original new voice. Can’t wait to read more.' (The Times)
'One feels the influence of an early Ian McEwan or Iain Banks ... But All the Birds, Singing is also powerfully original.' (The Times Literary Supplement)
'A strange, disturbing and admirably original story... there are tantalising hints of menace.' (Evening Standard)
‘...it’s the quality of her prose that really blows your mind – lyrical without being cloying, full of violence and beauty...’ (Metro)
‘It is no surprise that she has been included on every possible shortlist of talented young authors to look out for. Evie Wyld is the real thing.’ (The Spectator)
