Augusten Burroughs recommends
Nine Elms (2019)
(Kate Marshall, book 1)
Robert Bryndza
"Bryndza's characters are so vividly drawn - even the slightest character - and fully human and uniquely imperfect. His plots are clever and original and cool and his sense of timing is excruciatingly flawless. Nine Elms is Robert Bryndza spreading his already formidable wings to thrilling effect."
