“Who can have children and not go completely mad?” – Lanny by Max Porter

"Lanny is also an excoriating look at pettiness and prejudice and judgment and ‘tribulation chasers’; as bleak as it is, it’s still deeply funny, and while Toothwort is an ogre of sorts, he’s nonetheless awesome, in the terrifying-splendour sense – nature is an amoral force in this England, a force beyond our control or comprehension. We live at the mercy of a primal world, and in this novel, only Lanny himself seems to appreciate that..." - Valerie O'Riordan reviews Lanny by Max Porter
