Sky City by Jacqueline Crooks review – an ambitious, lyrical portrait of trauma
A young woman is haunted by her childhood in this forcefully imaginative and unapologetically bleak novel from the author of Fire RushThe world of Sky City never quite settles beneath your feet.

The narrative floats just above the sur
