There's no way around it: James Roseman writes beautifully. Confident, complex, moving, funny, Placeholders is a novel that makes a beeline to the heart. Time and again, I didn't want it to end -- Declan Toohey, author of Perpetual Comedown Placeholders is an incredibly assured debut novel - humane, heartfelt and beautifully observed. Roseman raises huge questions about identity, belonging and family, excelling in his depiction of the small, everyday exchanges which make or break a relationship. A quietly, powerful novel, from a writer I'm keen to keep my eye on -- Jan Carson, author of Quickly, While They Still Have Horses An intimate, unflinching, and, above all, heartfelt novel, the best debut I've read this year. Buy your Roseman stock early. I loved this -- Ronan Ryan, author of The Fractured Life of Jimmy Dice A subtle, beautifully written story of two young people trying to make a life - together and as individuals - under the pressures of late capitalism... written with an unflinching tenderness -- Larissa Pham, author of Pop Song
