‘Remarkable' - Colm Tóibín, author of Brooklyn
Shortlisted for The Goldsmiths Prize and the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction
Book of the Year Selection in the Guardian, New York Times, Spectator, Hot Press and The White Review
In A Shock, a clutch of more or less loosely connected characters appear, disappear and reappear. They are all of them 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.
