Recensione:
An astounding debut novel. (Guardian)
Unbearable. Unmissable. A dazzling debut. (Naomi Klein)
Vividly brings to life the failed revolution of 2011 on the streets of Cairo, in all its youthful bravery and naïve utopianism. (J. M. Coetzee)
Compelling . . . Hamilton is to be commended for his vivid and sensitive depiction of one of the most important events in recent world history. (Literary Review)
A picture so vivid and powerful that it gives a passionate life and reality to what might have been perceived only as abstract principles . . . It will be a long time before we read anything so skilfully brought to life. (Philip Pullman)
The City Always Wins is a stirring, clear, humane and immensely savvy novel about political innocence and fearlessness. Its fictive portrayals of the Egyptian 'revolution' of 2011 are nothing less than ground-breaking. (Richard Ford)
Electrifying. (Observer)
'Astounding... A tale of defeat and dashed dreams, told in poetic prose. The relentless pace mimics the confusion of events, the sense of the people losing control. Here the novel form shows its strengths again, revealing far more than journalism can.' (Guardian)
