'A rather special work-a tour de force' Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times
'Sadler's Birthday is as far from the stereotype of a young woman's first novel as it can be. It is a masterly study of a lonely but loyal man that is deeply felt, intelligent and often touchingly funny. I liked it very much' Angus Wilson
Today is Jack Sadler's birthday. Or is it? He's not sure, doesn't care. It might be his last day or the beginning of a new chapter in his life. He must find the key to his old room. He knows the truth about his past lies there and somehow he must get in and confront it.
