Here's what they're saying about it...

"... the narrative raises pressing philosophical questions about ethics and altruism while conjuring fascinating characters and an eerie setting." - ​Publishers Weekly

"[A] post-apocalyptic, queer-spiced thrill" - Patrick Gale

"Cliff James is a rising star of contemporary British literature celebrated for his exquisitely observed characters & beautifully weaved, nuanced story-telling.
The Kindly Ones is a story for an extinction rebellion era set at the edge of extinction. It's about homelessness, displacement, shelter & survival. It's about growing up where death looms daily. It's about human compassion & religious ridiculousness. It's about acquired family & family bound by blood & faith. It's about intimacy, tenderness & humour and it's about disorientation, discomfort & despair. It's about fragility & resilience. It's about slavery & injustice & violence. And within the chaos & destruction blooms love." (Andy Taylor, Voices of Awareness)
