What the critics say ...

Still waters run deep in this graceful meditation on human connection.

“Readers who connected with the tender human dignity of A Man Called Ove and the bruised coming-of-age memory of The Body are in for a treat with Dignity”

“Dignity is ultimately a novel about seeing people more closely, about the understated ways one person can shape another, and about a man who spends years building the means to choose his own horizon”

Dignity

When Bogie’s ambition to escape his daily drudgery burns in the November night sky, a pre-teen boy becomes an improbable hero by rekindling the old man’s dream.

“Brown excels at creating multidimensional, flawed individuals whose struggles and secrets stir empathy.”

“Every page resonates with authenticity, thanks to his keen insight into emotions and the connections that bind us.”

The writing is tight
and the prose sings.

A Little Something To Hide

“All manner of people ride a Briscola coach. Some travel toward dreams, others are escaping horrors, each carries their secrets and the belief that they harbour truths known only to themselves.”
