"Julie Trimingham's impressive debut novel unfolds like a fever
dream. Written with sensual and
intoxicating prose, "Mockingbird" is an original love story that
may linger with you long after you
close this slender book."
--Jim Lynch, author of "Truth Like the Sun" and "The Highest
Tide"
"Julie Trimingham's "Mockingbird" is a terrific read that will
leave you questioning right and
wrong, and the bond between mother and child. Trimingham's
observations--of Havana's
corroded beauty, of a lover who can't love, of a baby's easy
joy--are not just exact but piercing.
Literary yet fast-paced, electric yet refined, this is a hurricane
of a book, by an author to keep
on watching."
--Kristen den Hartog, author of "The Girl Giant" and "Water
Wings"
"A novel of quiet passion and rare beauty, "Mockingbird" is a
testament to the power of pure,
uncluttered language--a confluence of feelings and physicality that
will draw you back, line after
graceful, memorable, line."
--Gina Nahai, author of "Caspian Rain" and "Moonlight on the Avenue
of Faith"
"Julie Trimingham's "Mockingbird" is a novel teeming with yearning,
with the indescribable smells and tastes of Cuban ardor. This tale
of passion and its smudged fate, its undeniable allure, intensifies
with each improvised move, so that readers have to gasp for breath,
yet cannot help but follow this impossible seduction, and the
center of gravity that shapes the beauty known as longing."
--Aritha Van Herk, author of "Judith" and "Audacious and Adamant:
The Story of Maverick Alberta"
