I found Saving Rafael completely gripping. Leslie Wilson is a great natural storyteller, and the background of wartime Berlin is absorbing and totally convincing.

Ed's voice is utterly distinctive: strong, emotive, haunting. His powers of observation seem almost supernatural. I am struck by the careful, line-by-line craftsmanship of the writing, as well as the bold design of the whole. What I notice is how he sets the tone and keeps to it - it's quite rare to find such resolution and clarity of purpose in a first novel.
