'Thrilling and intoxicating - a dazzling debut' -- Evie Woods * author of The Lost Bookshop * 'A captivating story, weaving together so many emotions with such beautiful descriptions that you feel you really are standing by the shoulders of the characters' -- Philip Paris * author of The Last Witch of Scotland * 'With a cast of lost souls in search of the ineffable, Sparks of Bright Matter takes us from the mystical landscape of rural Ireland to the metropolis and back again. The prose is subtly rendered and assured, the story as visceral, twisty and perilous as the backstreets of 18th century London' -- Karen Powell * author of Fifteen Wild Decembers *
