<p>‘First-rate storytelling’ <strong><em>Wall Street Journal</em></strong></p> <p>‘A novel of suspense with an all-American sting’ <strong><em>Washington Post</em></strong></p> <p>‘Beautiful, burly sentences full of arid geography and heavy weather’ <strong>Nick Duerden,<em> Observer</em></strong></p> <p>‘Charles Frazier’s historical fiction has explored the canyon-like gap between American mythology and the harsh reality of American life. His latest book, <em>The Trackers</em>, an engaging tale of love, loss and violence during the Great Depression, couldn’t arrive at a more appropriate time… A barrelling period piece, <em>The Trackers</em> has plenty of contemporary resonance in its depiction of conflict…</p> <p>Frazier has produced an entertaining mystery of drifters and grifters, chancers and chisellers. But, more importantly, he has caught the desperation of the times’ <strong>Christian House, <em>Financial Times</em></strong></p> <p>‘A densely layered portrait of a country imbued with the pioneering spirit despite being riddled with poverty. Workmanlike in the very best sense.’ <strong>Max Davidson, <em>Mail on Sunday</em></strong></p> <p> <strong>Praise for <em>Cold Mountain</em>:</strong> </p> <p>'A beautiful book, written in exquisite prose' <strong>Kate Atkinson</strong></p> <p>'Magnificent' <strong><em>Observer</em></strong></p> <p>‘A remarkable first novel, a romance of love, of friendship, of family, of land. Frazier has inhaled the spirit of the age and breathes it into the reader's being.’<strong><em>The Times</em></strong></p>
