‘Remarkable – Colm Tóibín, author of Brooklyn
Like Finnegans Wake, only readable – The Times
In A Shock, a clutch of more or less loosely connected characters appear, disappear, and reappear. They are all on the fringes of London life, often clinging on – to sanity, solvency, or a story – by their fingertips. With this deftly conjured high-wire act, Ridgway achieves a fine balance between drama and fidelity to his characters. The result is pin-sharp and breathtaking.
