FEATHER MAN MAKING WAVES
'Feather Man is powerful, original, wonderfully well written... the story of Sooky's gradually emerging independence is told in prose that is rich, lyrical and assured, and the portrayals of the characters in all their fabulous monstrosity ring absolutely true...in Sooky McMaster has created a fresh and original woman character who is at the heart of this brilliant, witty and disturbing novel.' Judge's Report, for the winner of the Barbara Jefferis Award
'Let me say first that Rhyll McMaster is an extraordinary writer. Her prose is dazzling, poetic and thought-provoking, and this is literary fiction at its best...I have likened Rhyll McMaster to Margaret Atwood. Atwood is brilliant, but in my view McMaster is even better...my money is on Feather Man making the Booker Prize longlist here.' Lisa Glass, Vulpes Libris

Rhyll McMaster's debut novel is simultaneously a portrait of an artist, an examination of the emotional alchemy from which art is born and a coming-of-age tale... The juxtaposition of mystery and harsh grit lends the book a compelling friction.' Helen Oyeyemi, New Statesman
