Reviews

I read Trespass in one go. So perceptive and clever. All the excitement of a thriller with the depth of a literary novel
*Cathy Rentzenbrink*

As memorable for her sharp and even funny social observation as it is for the powerful outrage that drives it
*Sunday Times*

Provocative, moving and timely
*Mail on Sunday*

A magnificent, nuanced and intricate novel. Trespass is as political as it is personal, both moving and psychologically fascinating
*Sadie Jones*

A novel about love -- and state-sanctioned impunity ... Paranoid fantasy or reality? Brilliant, chilling
*Helena Kennedy QC*

Some characters pull you in from the off and that's exactly how I felt about Tess, a young climate activist who becomes pregnant by an older man who isn't who he says he is
*Good Housekeeping*

A fascinating tale . . . Clark's historical worlds are meticulously researched.
*The Times, In the Full Light of the Sun*

With great skill and sympathy, Clark evokes a febrile society in which politics, love and art offer no certainties, and the ground always threatens to open beneath her characters' feet.
*Sunday Times, In the Full Light of the Sun*

An irresistible story . . . as compelling as it is expansive - Guardian
