Review
PRAISE FOR PIG: 'A coming-of-age story as strange and surprising, in its way, as THE CATCHER IN THE RYE' -- New York Times 'A first novel of extraordinary poise and accomplishment ... gripping and moving' -- Michael Dibdin 'A wholly satisfying book, quietly beautiful and inescapably ominous' -- David Buckley, Observer PRAISE FOR CRUSTACEANS: 'Haunting and heartbreaking' -- The Sunday Times 'Subtly written and superbly crafted ... Cowan has excelled himself with this brilliant and poignant book' -- Sunday Express 'Told with a tenderness and detail that shine through all [Paul's] dark domestic secrets. CRUSTACEANS is a bleakly beautiful novel ... riveting' -- Literary Review
