Description
A poignant, harrowing and humorous, poetic, bitter-sweet, dream-like fable by award winning author Chris Tutton
"I have never read such beautiful writing. I was stunned! The most beautifully written coming of age novel...EVER!!;The Failing of Angels has a plot to ponder...but really, the highlight is the writing. It is gorgeous. Tutton is a poet and that sensibility comes out in the book. Each sentence just needs to be reread. There are moments of pure beauty counterbalanced by sorrow but nevertheless there is a great amount of pleasure reading tightly crafted prose. The coming of age novel is nothing new in literature but Chris Tutton gives the genre a fresh outlook and I can guarantee that there will never be one which is as evocatively written as The Failing of Angels" Robert Pisani. "One of the most strikingly written books I've read all year; Tutton's prose is striking, full of alliteration, rhythm and unusual images...a strong heady brew of language that's well worth reading." David Hebblethwaite, David's Book World. Reading across the globe.
Chris Tutton is the critically acclaimed and award winning author of seven collections of poetry, the most recent being 'Impossible Memories', published in 2016.
