"Featherbones is an ethereal love song to a city by the sea. Thomas
Brown's beautiful novel depicts a liminal world of statues,
drownings and winged creatures. It's also a real page turner. I
love this book." Rebecca Smith, author of The Bluebird Caf "I loved
the use of language, I loved the story and above all I loved the
constant sensation that I was walking on the top of the dividing
wall between reality and dream and imagination and past and present
and future. I want to live on that wall for the rest of my life."
Bookrazy blog "What to call this experience? Magical realism
doesn't quite fit right.
Magical-psychological-philosophical-realism. Maybe. This is a book
that will be unlike any other that you have read. "If you enjoy
reading books that make you think, and make you wonder at the
author's ability to turn every day ordinary into something else,
something a bit more extraordinary, then I recommend this book to
you." Ionia Martin, Readful things blog The book Felix walks the
same way to work through Southampton every morning, and the same
way home again in the evenings. His life up to this point feels
like one day repeated over and over; a speck of silt caught in the
city's muddied waters. Sometimes it is all he can do to sit and
watch while the urban sprawl races indifferently around him. But
when the city stares back at him, one evening after work,
everything changes. He doesn't see the statue's head move, but he
feels its eyes on him, studying him from its lofty perch in East
Park. From then on he continues to glimpse it, or something like
it, encroaching with every visitation. With it come memories,
spilling through the streets, crawling through the dark, haunting
his night-time flat, until he isn't quite sure what is real anymore
and what is imagined, in this hard, grey place where the gulls
watch him sleep...
