The Stars in the Bright Sky

"Memorably bittersweet... [with] brilliantly pitched dialogue and monologue. The final cataclysmic scene is masterly" Guardian "The way that this middle-aged man manages to inhabit a gang of girls with such gusto and conviction is one of the small miracles of contemporary fiction, and Warner has done it once again" -- Phil Baker The Sunday Times "This is a snarly group picaresque, a black comedy in which Gatwick airport is like Kafka's Castle in reverse... stifling, hilarious and indelible" -- Nora Chassler Scottish Review of Books "Warner navigates the comic, the philosophical and the socially acute like no other writer we have" Independent "Vigorous and uncannily convincing... Readers would be sorry if Warner were to have finished with these characters" Daily Telegraph
