Critics Review
This is historical fiction at its finest. Vivid and authentic characters, and a story that illuminates and transports the reader to a time and place in an unforgettable way. * Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things *
Thrilling, devastating and deeply tender. I read this story of oppression, love and resistance with my heart in my mouth. * Rachel Joyce, author of The Homemade God *
A deep and painfully evocative examination of a man trapped between duty and morality, beautifully written, very much a book for our times. I hope Mr Lusk wont mind me comparing him to Graham Greene in his ability to skilfully explore murky moral ambiguity. * Marcia Hutchinson, author of Women’s Prize shortlisted The Mercy Step *
No Place for Us is the work of an exceptional writer and a brilliant storyteller. It is an utterly convincing, beautifully-realised historical novel that is incredibly pertinent to our times. * Shona Maclean, two times winner of the CWA Historical Dagger for the Damian Seeker series. *
A wonderful book. Full of heart, wisdom and compassion, it deals with massive themes that have resonance today, and reminded me of William Boyd’s Any Human Heart. Essentially, it’s a story about stories - those we tell ourselves, those we tell others, and the consequences. A triumph of hope and humanity. * Kate Griffin author of Fyneshade *
What does it take to survive in a time of war, deceits, and betrayals? No Place for Us by Sean Lusk is a profound and thrilling novel … as relevant today as for the times in which it is set. Sean Lusk goes from strength to strength. Surely one of the finest writers of our generation. * Essie Fox, author of Catherine: A Retelling of Wuthering Heights *
