Windmill Review Round-up

Bloods a Rover

Blood's a Rover by James Ellroy

‘…it is a triumph; a dark, thrilling saga roaming from the ghettoes of LA to the boondocks of Haiti as assassins and FBI agents try to make peace with the havoc they’ve created.  Vivid as a nightmare.’ John Williams, Mail on Sunday

a-world-by-itself

A World by Itself by Jonathan Clark

‘…a compelling history of the British Isles to date, tracing political, religious and material cultures from the Romans to the present day, and focusing on the most dramatic moments of the last two millennia and the enduring questions of what it means to be British.’ Scotsman Magazine

pocket-notebook

Pocket Notebook by Mike Thomas

Pocket Notebook is most certainly not run of the mill…Amusing, in a very black way…entertaining…There’s no doubt Mike Thomas can write very well indeed…he’s come up with a cracker of a read…Needless to say, Smith is heading for an especially bloody end. It’s who he’ll take down with him that provides the suspense, and the horror.’ Henry Sutton, Mirror

‘Arresting tale doesn’t miss a beat…Pocket Notebook might become cult reading in police circles, [but] it certainly isn’t about to become a recruit training manual.  This is an enjoyable black comedy that builds to an exciting climax.’ Tim Relf, Independent

 

dona-nicanora

Dona Nicanora's Hat Shop by Kristan Hawkins

‘Plenty of charm in this effervescently sweet novel - perfect for reading in the bath.’ Metro

bad-vibes

Bad Vibes by Luke Haines

‘It’s pretty much the best-written book I’ve ever read by a musician.  He has a superb deadpan style.  You will call people and read bits over the phone’ William Leith, Evening Standard

 

Lords of Finance by Liaquat Ahamed

Lords of Finance by Liaquat Ahamed

‘Incredibly vivid’ Press Association syndicated review

 Liaquat also wrote his ‘book of a lifetime’ piece in the Independent

finest-type1

The Finest Type of English Womanhood by Rachel Heath

‘Brilliantly melds a factual post-war murder into a dark fictional tale’ Telegraph

things-ive-been-silent-about1

Things I've Been Silent About by Azar Nafisi

‘…a balanced, lucid narrative; a rich, complex account of this crucial part of Iranian history.’ Observer

‘A powerful memoir of Nafisi’s Iranian childhood, her mother and a homeland shattered by political revolution.’ The Times
