Review:

"An exquisitely imagined novel of memory and desire, beautifully achieved, as tense as it is elegaic. This is a book that keeps faith with the landscape in which it is set, its vast spaces, great silences and strangeness" (Joseph O’Connor, author of Star of the Sea)

"She reminds the reader of Annie Proulx and Cormac McCarthy... visionary and extraordinary... This heartfelt novel leaves a deep and singular impression... the book's language is rich, discriminating and unconstrained" (Hilary Mantel Guardian)

"A captivating novel that looks deeply at memory and place... Blue Horse Dreaming is profound. It explores deep human emotions and the impact history has on everyday life" (Aesthetica)

"'Remarkable and utterly original ... Time and again, Wallace finds the one right word to lift an otherwise ordinary sentence into art'" (New York Times Book Review)

Book Description:

A visceral, stunningly-written novel set in the borderlands between civilisation and barbarity with all the power of Cormac McCarthy's The Road.
