'Bidisha is without exaggeration one of this year's most promising writers' Dominic Lutyens, The Times 'Seahorses... is quite plainly the work of an extraordinary talent... hauntingly powerful... the writing is ambitiously detailed, almost obsessive and drenched in imagery... Seahorses would be an impressive debut for any novelist, let alone one so young.' Thomas Blaikie, Spectator 'A fine attention to the lives and style of the media classes against a bleak city backdrop makes for a remarkably mature debut... perhaps the most startling achievement of the novel is the richness of its observation of the city itself and the freshness of metaphor it brings to its depiction.' Mary Scott, Independent 'Happily, this precociously talented nipper sidesteps the drugs'n'raves cliches of most post-Trainspotting yoof fiction, to attempt something much more mature... a stunningly accomplished debut.' Stephen Dalton, Vox
