Isaac

'So vivid and real, it brought a thousand memories rushing back' - Russell T Davies, screenwriter of It's a Sin

'Truly impressive: funny, melancholic and acutely real. Isaac takes me back to my own adolescence in London, to being on the precipice of adult life... bracing and uncensorious' - James Cahill, author of Tiepolo Blue

'Carefully written, sexually candid but full of warmth and longing, Isaac is deeply satisfying in its elegance and tenderness' - Niamh Campbell, author of This Happy

'A luminous and beautiful debut about coming-of-age in London today. An instant queer classic' - Jon Ransom, author of The Gallopers

'Garner writes like a queer, twenty-first century Richard Yates: honest, uncompromising, fearless, and completely engrossing' - Alex Pheby, author of Playthings

'Garner's titular character encapsulates all the wide-eyed wonderment and boundless bruising of a queer awakening. Isaac will have you smiling and screaming in equal measure as he navigates his final summer before university' - Andrés N. Ordorica, author of How We Named the Stars

'Isaac deftly captures adolescence in all its restlessness, uncertainty, possibility and pain' - Grace Flahive, author of Palm Meridian

'Vividly sensual language... I raced through it!' - Kerry Andrew, author of We Are Together Because

'Scenes from this novel have lingered in my mind for months' - Lily Lindon, author of Double Booked
