My debut novel, Peterdown, is out in paperback. Here are some nice things have said about it:

David Annand is a great storyteller who has suddenly arrived in the front rank of contemporary novelists with a book that is witty, touching, loaded with drama and, most crucially, lays bare the cultural and class divisions that run through present-day British society. Along the way, from the Fall to the steak bake at Greggs to football culture, he understands the poetry of everyday life in all its infinite bittersweet detail

Andrew Hussey, author of Speaking East

A book from the psychic fault lines of 21st Century Britain, Peterdown's big ambitions never lose sight of the human and everyday. The result is something simultaneously down to earth and epic

Johny Pitts, author of Afropean

A captivating parable about how we understand place. . . Annand's narrative speaks volumes about how culture configures our relationship to physical space . . . Peterdown makes for engrossing reading

Sarah Birch, Hackney Citizen

Annand's class politics are razor sharp; Peterdown is What a Carve Up! for the post-crash era of gentrification and Iconic developments, skewering many of the bromides of contemporary politics and culture along the way

John Merrick, Tribune
