REVIEWS AND INTERVIEWS

Reviews of 'The Eloquence of Desire'

"With deft, convincing characterisation, this novel tells, with unsentimental candour, the stories of 'ordinary' people placed in extraordinary situations, and shows how illicit desire rips at the polite fabric of 'respectable' lives. It exposes the hypocrisy of class and rank, and the way the power of entrenched interests can be used to hurt and humiliate. It also takes the reader to many beautifully evoked locations - drizzly north London, steamingly sensuous Malayan market-places, languid verandas, Colonial Ex-Pat clubs and dusty, hidden villages - and back to Brighton just as the city is beginning to undergo massive physical and social changes. This is a writer who can take you directly into unknown territory, and leave you spell-bound..."

Catherine Smith, poet, writer

"The Eloquence of Desire is breathtaking in scope and imagination; readers will be swept up in the lives of this once happy family as they are forced to move to wild unknowns. Powerfully emotive and profound, this literary masterpiece explores numerous themes with naked honesty and integrity. The setting and the scenery is so richly described and with such clarity that the reader will be transported to various locals alongside the characters in the story. Readers will both love and hate the main and supporting characters; if not for their human weaknesses, for their need of love and fulfillment. A self-absorbed mindset puts innocent people in danger and sets the stage for dramatic confrontations, secret meetings, heart-breaking betrayals and cultural clashes the may end in bloodshed. Amanda Sington-Williams is an author to watch; she has a very promising writing career ahead of her. If you are a fan of historical fiction, be sure to pick up a copy of this novel!"
