Jonathan now lives in Chamonix, where he is writing his third novel, Genesis.
Creepy and involving... From the beginning, Trigell weaves a sense
of drama and a disturbing feeling of inevitability
*Independent*
Trigell brilliantly depicts the pressures of living with a terrible
secret... written with a naive clarity which evokes the unfamiliar
wonders of the outside world
*Guardian*
A challenging novel of atrocity and redemption... [A] fast-paced,
thought provoking read, perhaps all the more significant for the
questions it can't answer
*Big Issue*
