'A lyrical and haunting read - a beautifully observed novel on love and the loneliness it can bring.'

Cauvery Madhavan - author of Paddy Indian and The Inheritance

'SPIT is an exquisite work of art and Brennan's prose exalts poetry and beauty. This work is a song with a melody that haunts long after you turn the last page. Like one of the narrators, a spook, it gets under your skin and burrows into each of your bones to remind you of your mortality, but also of your indispensable place in this beautiful world. Love and desire are at the heart of the story, crossing time and space and leaving a mark on everyone who inhabits the mournful, longing landscape of the parish of SPIT. It takes a deft hand to wring hope from the bog, the mists, the lone hills, and Brennan does so masterfully.'

Lester Walbrugh - author of Let It Fall Where It Will and Elton Baatjies
