Publisher Description

We must be ruthless, Edward snarls, because we lead ruthless lives: you, of anyone, should understand that. This is our existence, Jordan, this house, this land, that father, that mother - there's no pity, there's no mercy, there's probably no escape. It is hard, Jordan, and we have to be hard to survive it, and the best we can do is fight anything that threatens to make it worse.

"What I consider to be Hartnett's most powerful book. She has the ability to make you fall in love with her characters, as well as hate them with the fiery passions of hell. Her mixture of violence and poetic discourse is certainly at its best in Sleeping Dogs. "

    " I was stunned by this book, literally. I just sat there after reading it, numb. READ IT. I DARE YOU. "

    " Sonya Hartnett's amazing. This is a no nonsense tale of a seriously disturbed family and the dreams you never dare follow. "

    " This was a nasty little book for a YA novel, but it was really good. I'll be reading more of Hartnett's stories. The jacket talked about Faulkner, which made me laugh at first, but I have to admit the tone invites that comparison. "

    " This was the first Sonya Hartnett that I ever read...and what a story to begin with! The Willow family is isolated, disfunctional and violent, and Hartnett sucks you into their world with vehemence and skill. This novel left me breathless. "

    " Not for small children. Very dysfunctional family. Sad to think of how many children really do live in fear with abuse looming over them. "

    " This was something I had to read for Uni. It wasn't the most painful book I've ever been made to read but it won't go down in history as an all-time favourite, either. It was, simply put, ok, for a book about incest and murderous dogs! "
