Editorial Reviews
Review
“A novel that’s rich with both grief and great love. Courttia Newland is a fierce talent.” —
Victor LaValle, author of ‘Big Machine General’“One of the most imaginative, freethinking writers working today. I love his work.” —
Sarah Hall, author of ‘The Beautiful Indifference’“A gripping tale of loss, despair, and hope of redemption.” —
Linton Kwesi Johnson“Newland writes…with sensitivity and complexity. The Gospel According to Cane, his seventh book, is a coming-of-middle-age novel, but one seasoned with style and sophistication.” —
Bernadine Evaristo, the Guardian“Throughout The Gospel According to Cane, Mr. Newland takes on…the meaning of family and the risks associated with helping those in distress…With realism and without sanctimony, Mr. Newland successfully engages some of the most difficult questions we will ever face.” —
New York Journal of Books“The storytelling is as captivating as the story itself. Newland, a Jamaican-born British writer, seamlessly integrates the joy, fear, uncertainty, and sadness … Newland’s prose is beautiful.” —
