Sparrow on the Rooftop by Rachel Long John Gallas into the sudden havoc andRachel Long's keenly anticipated second collection is a study of desire, crisis and self realisation, at once moving and whip smart, from one of our brightest stars. 'At first you eat less because you're happy, so fricking happy, the way you are in high summer when you just can't because of the sun.' Sparrow on the Rooftop tells a story of new love: the summer like giddiness of it, the ferocity of obsession, and the stark hollowing of absence.
