Trash Reviews

One of the most exciting and original novels of the year ... It's a tight, thrilling story, told from various characters' perspectives and has a Slumdog, -feel-good pulse beating through it. A genuine treasure find -- Sally Morris The Daily Mail Outstanding, hotly anticipated thriller ... an exceptionally satisfying plot -- Amanda Craig The Times Trash is a thriller with moral weight and a complex structure ... Without ever moralising, Mulligan raises issues of corruption, poverty, waste and excess in an exciting, but also grimly sad tale -- Suzi Feay Financial Times Great stuff: taut, plausible and thought-provoking -- Toby Clements Daily Telegraph The story has an infectious energy ... A highly entertaining and very satisfying book which should be recommended to all. It needs to be read -- Marilyn Brocklehurst Bookseller
