**SOLDIER SAILOR - THE NEW NOVEL BY CLAIRE KILROY - IS AVAILABLE NOW**
'Compelling.' The Times
'Written with such verve and confidence . . . impossible not to enjoy.' 5* reader review
'This is my favourite book.' 5* reader review
Anna Hunt has lost her memory and is on the run. From who and what she is unsure, but trapped in the present she seems certain of only one thing - she is somehow linked to the stolen painting currently being restored in the National Gallery. In a wonderfully unsettling first novel, Claire Kilroy manages to combine beautiful, poetic prose with the menacing atmosphere of a thriller as she explores themes of memory, violence, art and escape.
PRAISE FOR SOLDIER SAILOR:

'So powerful.' MONICA ALI
'Exceptionally good [it] sizzles and crackles with life.' The Times
'A huge, small book.' ANNE ENRIGHT
'I lived and breathed beside her narrator. A furious, muffled shout of a book.' DAISY JOHNSON
