Trick Of The Light by Jill Dawson
A riveting tale exploring the complex nature of damaging relationships
Excellent.. a moving, beautifully written tale * The Times *
The novel held me right to the end. I was constantly interested in Rita and her dilemma and held by the evocation of place * Margaret Forster *
Taut with narrative tension and memorable for its superb descriptions of landscape and a multitude of deft touches that always seem just right. Above all, this is a genuinely romantic novel, a double love story of love that is raw and raunchy as well as romantic * The Times *
A taut, compelling story that quells any easy theories about abusive relationships * Times Literary Supplement *
A brave and necessary novel * Daily Telegraph *
Explores a destructive relationship with vivid and compelling precision * Jane Rogers *
I loved it. To carry such threat, such danger and at the same time produce a narrative which is such a joy to read is miraculous * E A Markham *
