The Tyranny of Lost Things Bewertungen

'Combining an intriguing mystery with political scrutiny, Cosslett reveals how four walls can mean so much more than bricks and mortar.

* Stylist *

'Set in 2011 and the 1980s, [Rhiannon's] excellent debut novel tells the edgy and compelling story of Harmony.'

* A Previewer Pick, The Bookseller *

'A brave, beautiful, coming of age novel - full of generational conflict, trauma, and Bohemianism. Truly a writer to watch.'

* Nina Stibbe *

'Surprising and keenly observed, this is an original contemporary presentation of London: nostalgic but also brutal, with deft and poignant cultural comparisons. A jagged, bold, time-twisting dazzler!'

* Emma Jane Unsworth *

'An elegiac intergenerational howl that answers boldly back to its literary parents. Cosslett's talent for social commentary continues to arraign and amuse in this boozy tainted love-song to London.'

* Claire Lowdon *

'The Tyranny of Lost Things is a hazy, evocative novel about place and belonging and a beautiful love letter to London in the summer'

* Sophie Mackintosh *

'Cosslett paints a portrait of millennial London, contrasted with the idealism of Harmony's bohemian parents... Compelling.'

* The Herald *

'I absolutely loved it and cannot recommend it enough, especially for fans of Ali Smith.'

* Jordan Baker, @bookish_j_ *
