An exceptional talent. This is a great book, a delight, a gem.

The Bookseller

Affecting, carefully drafted, quietly tumultuous

TLS

The reader concentrates only on the foregrounded emotion - an effect that most state-of-the-nation merchants would give their eye teeth to achieve

The Independent

Dominic Pattison's life is one of level contentment: his marriage has proved happy and durable; his business, too, is successful.And then Sam Williams, a builder and ex-squaddie, enters his life. Sam claims to be his son. Yet is Sam who he says he is? After almost thirty years, Dominic can remember little of the affair with Sam's mother. His instinct is to recoil from this aggressive and volatile stranger, who could, with just a few words, take his life apart. But Sam refuses to be dismissed. With its deft switches of sympathy between menaced 'father' and rebuffed 'son' and its exploration of the intricacies of memory, Contact will resonate long with its readers.
