No More Angels [Paperback]

Ron Butlin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2008

From Ancient Greece, via contemporary Britain, into the future, from childhood to old age and beyond, the stories in No More Angels capture the idiosyncrasies of modern life.

Comic, tragic, and sometimes both, Ron Butlin explores individual lives with a lightness of touch that cuts right to the heart. A dramatic follow-up to Butlin’s acclaimed Belonging, No More Angels is a captivating celebration of human frailty.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"'As a fast page-turner, Belonging is hard to beat... it takes the finest features of the suspense novel, and combines them with the 20-something metaphyics of Alan Warner. The result is both mesmerising and serious' Scotland on Sunday 'Butlin is a novelist capable of making the improbable ring true... remarkable powers of description... compellingly written' The Scotsman '[A] gripping, precipitous read' Independent '[A] terrible psychological heart of darkness which is as terrifying as it is compelling. Harrowingly honest... this is a truly moving piece of work' The List"
