Praise for The Night Brother: `Rosie Garland writes in a tumble of poetry, desire and passion, as intriguing and delicious as the story she tells' Stella Duffy `A rich and ambitious tale ... Garland's prose is a delight: playful and exuberant' THE TIMES `Echoes of Angela Carter's more fantastical fiction reverberate through this exuberant tale of a hermaphrodite Jekyll and Hyde figure ...enjoyably energetic' SUNDAY TIMES Praise for The Palace of Curiosities: `Garland's lush prose is always a pleasure' GUARDIAN `A jewel-box of a novel ... Garland is a real literary talent: definitely an author to watch' Sarah Waters `An alternately brutal and beautiful story about love and belonging in a vividly conveyed underworld, rich in carny phantasmagoria and lyrical romance' METRO `Bewitching' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING `Reminds me of Angela Carter' Jenni Murray
