Reviews for Deloume Road
Elegant... delicate meditation on the cyclical nature of history, and the strength of communities
Observer
A novel with real, haunting power
Guardian
Hooton's voice is beautifully lyrical, gentle and appreciative of nature; as the novel builds we too are drawn into this world, and the jaggedly horrifying finale. Beautifully written and highly recommended
