PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Born in Falkirk, Gareth Brown wanted to be a writer from a very young age. He wrote his first (unpublished) novel when in his teens and short stories while at university. For the last twenty years he has worked in the UK Civil Service and is currently Director of Screening for NHS Scotland. An inveterate traveller, he particularly relishes the experience of arriving somewhere new- those first few hours of culture shock and noise and bustle in an unfamiliar city - a passion that influenced the writing of The Book of Doors. Gareth Brown lives just outside Edinburgh.
'A real page-turner - incredibly ambitious and inventive, The Book of Doors is a great read.' -- ROSIE ANDREWS, author of The Leviathan A brilliant page-turner - a clever and beautiful novel about the power of books, and a tribute to those who champion them. -- SUNYI DEAN, author of The Book Eaters The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown is so good! A brilliant concept executed with mind-blowing precision, this intricately plotted book is breathtakingly clever, cinematic in scope and full of magic, wonder and heart. -- ANITA FRANK, author of The Good Liars A magical, mesmerising adventure from the very first page. This is an extraordinary debut, rich with atmosphere. I think we've discovered something special. I dare you to step inside The Book of Doors, you won't want to leave. -- A. J. WEST, author of The Spirit Engineer The Book of Doors is a beautiful, unputdownable love letter to books and the power they hold in their pages. I loved it -- BETH LEWIS, author of The Wolf Road
