M J Hyland available for events in Manchester

April onwards

This Is How was selected for the 2010 Orange longlist, and MJ Hyland was Booker-shortlisted in 2006 for Carry Me Down. This Is How takes you inside the claustrophobic mind of accidental murderer Patrick Oxtoby. As with all Hyland's books, the writing is sharp and incredibly tight, and the book will throw up a lot of questions.

'When you've been reading Hyland, other writers seem to lack integrity; they seem wedded to weak confabulations, whereas she aims straight for the truth and the heart.' - Hilary Mantel
