‘ A writer of serious intent and prodigious talent. It’s not easy to write about passionate love, but Morrison is completely convincing in that respect. In lesser hands, the besotted dialogues and communications between Tom and Meg might begin to grate, but here the author makes them utterly compelling. Despite the pair constantly looking backwards to their week together, there is a relentless forward momentum to Distance, Morrison creating an insatiable desire to find out what happens when they finally meet up again. Morrison handles all this brilliantly, and his perfectly judged denouement is a blow to the head and heart. On this form, Morrison is one of the finest novelists around.’

‘incredibly compelling …an often overpowering, whirlwind romance peppered with hilarious, snappily rendered critiques of [the lovers] hometowns and, perhaps most interestingly, some searing attacks on and celebrations of modern Scotland….even when all seems to be unravelling for his protagonists, Morrison keeps the reader???s spirits up and gripped to every chapter with an abundance of witty lines, bittersweet anecdotes and an underlying sense of hope.’

‘Distance is a remarkable, penetrating look at the nature of love, the psychology of sex and the role of delusion and fantasy in relationships. Heartbreaking in its depiction of self-destruction and desperation, it is an unflinching look at the train wreck that is the modern world. Swung was an amazing debut, Distance is considerably better, and Morrison is infuriatingly talented.’
Doug Johnstone. Author The Ossians

‘Morrison can be insightful, particularly when it comes to Tom???s self-defeatism. He also has a knowing awareness of the clichéd nature of his romantic theme. This, together with philosophical musings about the nature of affection bring weight to bear.’
Financial Times

‘The absorption of two lovers can make the reader feel like a gooseberry…Morrison leaves you aching for their reunion.’
