| A worthy prequel to the author’s dystopian YA trilogy, telling of the time when the New Day party first began to consolidate its tyrannical grip on British society. However for at least the first third of the story I found the main protagonist, teena ...more | |

| This is a very holistic exploration of Bowie’s story, brilliantly considered and examined by Ormerod. In fact the story could so easily be an obscure and dense meandering through the enchantment of a rock star with eastern religions, mind-altering dr ...more | |

“My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Healthcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.”
