Review
Praise for Belonging: ?As a fast page-turner, Belonging is hard to beat . . . It takes the finest features of the suspense novel, and combines them with the 20-something metaphyics of Alan Warner. The result is both mesmerising and serious? Scotland on Sunday ?Butlin is a novelist capable of making the improbable ring true . . . remarkable powers of description . . . compellingly written? The Scotsman ?[A] gripping, precipitous read? Independent ?[A] terrible psychological heart of darkness which is as terrifying as it is compelling. Harrowingly honest . . . this is a truly moving piece of work? The List

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Signed, first edition, never read, paperback. In fine condition some scratches to the front cover. From Ancient Greece, via contemporary Britain, into the future, from childhood to old age and beyond, the stories in No More Angelscapture the idiosyncrasies of modern life. A train ticket seller livens up his day by telling Lockerbie victims' relatives that his surname is Lockerbie. A widower struggles to keep his family on the tracks after the death of his young wife, becoming obsessive about order and routine to the point of madness. A schoolboy counts down the days, hours and minutes to a friend's party, all too conscious of the realities of the popularity game. A house tour is conducted with the unspoken stench of parenticide hanging in the air Comic, tragic and sometimes both, Butlin explores individual lives with a lightness of touch that cuts right to the heart. A dramatic follow up to Butlin's acclaimed Belonging, No More Angels is a captivating celebration of human frailty. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # ABE-1704722273436
