Critics Review
“Ballad of the Gangster’s Daughter is a sweeping, cinematic tragedy. Slingsby writes with meticulous humanity; from fire-hydrant Bronx to fluorescent Florida. Serena Magic is a protagonist of depth and resilience, and her journey is rendered with polished, astute prose. A haunting, compelling read.” – John Reed, author of A Still Small Voice
“Slingsby boasts a keen eye for social observation across classes, age groups, and professions, and plots that engage the reader with the many elements of power. He has a natural flair for language that manages simultaneously to propel his narrative, provide insight into his characters’ minds, and advance his thematic agenda.” – Dale Peck, New York Times bestselling author of Now It’s Time to Say Goodbye
“Zachary Slingsby is a gifted storyteller who has created an irresistible narrative peopled with characters who live on the page.” – Patrick McGrath, award-winning author of Asylum
