'But I ran up the broken stairway, and came out suddenly, as if by a miracle, clean on the platform of my San Tommaso, in the tremendous sunshine.'
Four personal, sun-drenched sketches of Lawrence's experiences in Italy.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a complete romp. [It is] so funny, rude and original that by the time flowers hit the stage, even the musical-averse will cheer.
—— The New York Times Book Review[It] will have readers simultaneously laughing, crying and singing at the top of their lungs.
—— Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewA terrific high-energy tale.
—— Booklist, starred reviewIt is such a good book. [Green and Levithan] are two of the best writers writing today.
—— NPR’s The RoundtableA brilliant novel.
—— Seattle TimesA winning combination infused with wit, sarcasm, and plenty of musical references.
—— Chicago TribuneThis novel has serious buzz.
—— EntertainmentWeekly.comOne of the best books of the year.
—— BookpageMcCarthy's writing is cool and elegant, descriptive, yet informal and conversational.
—— Curious Animal MagazineAn intellectually challenging and highly engaging work of art.
—— JP O’Malley , Washington PostIt is dead-clever, very funny, insanely ambitious, sometimes insane, essentially brilliant and commendably engaged with the way we’re living our lives right now.
—— Stuart Hammond , Dazed DigitalReading a McCarthy novel is like being in a McCarthy novel: everything is part of a fizzing network, the scope of which can never be fully apprehended.
—— Duncan White , TelegraphWithout beginning, middle, end – and especially lacking centre! – the novel comes to a halt, leaving the reader in a gorgeous daze of symbol and cypher, whose meaning is so clear, and yet tantalizingly opaque.
—— Aisling O’Gara , Totally DublinSatin Island is clever, vogue, slick and sleek.
—— Tamim Sadikali , Book MunchPacked with intriguing and intellectual ideas… refreshingly thought-provoking.
—— Good Book GuideSlender, foxily postmodern.
—— Sam Leith , Radio TimesThe bleeding edge of science fiction is Satin Island.
—— InterzoneIn Satin Island the narrator, U, takes us on a journey through the modern world of ideas, theories and references. It’s a wonderfully intense experience – as soon as I’d finished I wanted to read it again.
—— Edith Bowman , Radio TimesConvincing proof that the best writers of our time are anthropologists.
—— Anna Aslanyan , The SpectatorFavourite novel of 2015.
—— John Banville , ObserverA darkly funny and disturbing meditation on the intricacies and insubstantiality of our technology-ridden times. McCarthy is one of the most daring, most ambitious and most subtle of what at my age I can all the younger generation of writers.
—— John Banville , Irish TimesThe novel often reads like a dramatic monologue, a very modern stream of consciousness, akin to Joyce’s Finnegans Wake… McCarthy’s novel is innovative, well crafted and challenging… This novel is breaking new ground, a breath of fresh air, at times a tour de force.
—— Vincent Hanley , Irish TimesMcCarthy has put his finger on something, and he’s nailed it very precisely. It’s how we live now. All the information we process every day. What it’s doing to us.
—— William Leith , Evening StandardAs a debut novel, it is truly dazzling and Hermione Eyre has proved herself an author well worth watching out for
—— Susannah Perkins , NudgeProfoundly moving
