About the Author
Georgina Harding is the author of three novels: The Solitude of Thomas Cave, The Spy Game, which was a BBC Book at Bedtime and shortlisted for an Encore Award, and, most recently, Painter of Silence, which was shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction 2012. She lives on a farm in the Stour Valley, Essex.
Review
Georgina Harding's novel is the finely tuned work of a writer exceptionally at ease with her craft and a testament to the power and poetry of clean and disciplined prose -- Sadie Jones * Guardian * Quietly and restrainedly, The Gun Room is a book that provokes searching questions * Daily Mail * Graceful and considered ... The dreamlike quality is heightened by Harding's sharply observed prose ... As befits a writer adept at carefully cropped scenes, Harding has the measure of photography. The novel plays with its ability to captivate, shock, inform and misdirect * Sunday Telegraph * In delicate, hypnotic prose, Harding describes the devastating effects of war and the trauma of bearing witness * Sunday Express * A moving story * Elle Summer Reading * Harding has the descriptive skills to do her subject justice ... Elegant * Mail on Sunday * Her writing is so gentle and beautiful and takes you so confidently on a journey. I let myself be carried away -- Esther Freud A captivating, superbly written novel about the impossibility of escaping from the past -- Simon Shaw * Mail on Sunday * A powerful novel about war and its aftermath in memory ... The novel shifts between deliberately created images to the ones that populate and pollute the imagination. The narrative attends to its people with delicacy and detail. Stubborn and painful memories are evoked in a nuanced understatement, and the frequent inarticulacy of the characters only intensifies the power of the prose. The writing is allusive without ever losing lucidity, and the whole is beautifully orchestrated. It is an excellent novel, and one that is a worthy successor to her superb Painter of Silence * Abdulrazak Gurnah, Financial Times Summer Reading *
