"The Brightwood Stillness is a novel I could not put down. On the surface, it is the lives of normal people in trying circumstances. Deeper, it is an uncannily perceptive exploration of male psychologyâ€¦ Pomeroy is a brave new voice capable of taking us beyond the clichÃ©s of war and its aftermath and into the secret heart of every man. This is simply the best novel Iâ€™ve read in a long time."
