Recenzii

Thrilling ... a darkly humorous and highly topical novel
A brilliant dissection of race, identity, masculinity and extremism. Skilfully plotted and wholly convincing in its evocation of alienation, and the sub-culture that leads to the inevitable, heartbreaking, ending
A subtle, satirical debut smartly explores the reasons frightened teenage boys become dangerous men. Padamsee's handling of this enduring theme, more than his novel's topicality, is what marks it out as a debut of subtle intelligence and artistry
A politically engaged, urgently plotted coming-of-age thriller with a wicked satirical streak
Deeply astute and devastating in its commentary on immigrant communities ... Padamsee tackles difficult issues with a deftness rare for debuts
Brilliant ... I was gripped by this original story about online radicalisation, wounded masculinity, disaffected youth and a desperate search for identity
Nuanced and remarkably assured ... England Is Mine offers a searing indictment of the factionalism and marginalisation that grip 21st-century Britain
Heart-breaking . . . captures modern times in the UK perceptively
Fluid, controlled and original, England Is Mine is a memorable contribution to the burgeoning genre of the internet novel
This is one hell of a debut novel. Truly lovable characters become subjected to the dehumanising forces of modern Britain, hurtling towards an increasingly inevitable finale ... extraordinary
A sharp, visceral, courageous and thoroughly original piece of fiction. I've never read anything like it
An utterly engrossing first novel. Its depiction of radicalisation as a desperate cry for belonging is simultaneously shocking and heart-breaking. A devastating portrait of contemporary London by a major new talent
England is Mine moves with verve and heart through territory too often neglected by the contemporary novel. As the precision-tooled plot hurtles towards disaster, Nicolas Padamsee guides us through the troubled hinterlands of wounded masculinity, gamer culture and the alt-right with thrilling pace and economy
Gripping, intelligent, streetwise and absolutely contemporary, England is Mine is a stunning first novel. It's a piercing depiction of online radicalisation that I sped through with appalled delight. Hard to think how it could be any more timely
A frightening journey into online radicalisation
Nicolas Padamsee is a truly thrilling and innovative writer. His portrayal of radicalisation, of the strangeness and loneliness of a life lived on the internet, is subtle, entirely believable, fresh and compelling. He tackles themes such as racism and misogyny in a way that is morally nuanced but never moralising. England Is Mine is a brilliant, original book
