''This is a lucidly written and thoughtfully argued book that makes a case for Barker' s ' critical realism' and for the idea of a ' negative epic' as a key feature of her fiction. Discussion of time, memory and history animates the study and careful attention is paid to the novels' formal characteristics. Brannigan' s is the best reading of 'Union Street' to date and when he discusses imagery (as in the animal imagery in 'Border Crossing') he opens up the texts in revealing ways."--Sharon Monteith, University of Nottingham."" <p>
