Kick The Animal Out : Press reviews

‘In the lucid prose of a fresh, original voice, this fine novel unravels the tangle of facts and fiction that make us.’

Independent on Sunday, New Review

‘Not since The Catcher in the Rye has a novel featured a more compelling young narrator. An astonishing book that captures what is transient in life, what is permanent, and the bittersweet zone in between.’

Siddhartha Deb

‘Véronique Ovaldé has created a soaring story, grounded by imagery and metaphors so precise and original that they reveal themselves as remarkable truths of the human heart. To read Ovaldé’s highly imaginative and linguistically rich novel is to be utterly transported.’
