Rezensionen
"A standalone masterpiece" - Chair of Judges, CILIP Carnegie Medal

"Heart-rending but perfectly pitched ... life-affirming" - The Guardian

""Funny, scatological, terrifying, heartwarming and heartbreaking" - Sunday Times

"As taut as Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, Lark rings with truth, humour, humanity and pathos" - New Statesman

"Heartrending but perfectly pitched" - The Observer

"As ever, McGowan's understanding of masculine youth - its brashness and unexpected tenderness - is evident, and there is a quiet worldliness underpinning the whole" - Literary Review
