The Find, forthcoming April, 2010
After a day's prospecting leads paleontologist Anna Silowski to make an extraordinary discovery in a remote part of British Columbia, the tensions below the surface of her successful career are exposed. Pushed towards breakdown, she finds herself unexpectedly dependent on high-school drop out Scott Macleod, and recruits him to help on the excavation of her find. Scott is soon way out of his depth, and the excavation itself teeters on the edge of disaster... The Find is a compelling story about discovery, inheritance and fate, and a moving exploration of the possibilities that hide within a seemingly impossible relationship.

‘What will she be like?
he thinks. I don't know.
Who will I become? Ditto. A leap in the dark.’
Alphabet
| 'Alphabet is not just highly
readable, but one of the strongest, most eloquent, most
tightly constructed novels of 2004. It is a measure of
the quiet artistry of Alphabet that, out of material
that would have been at home in the blackest of black
comedies, Kathy Page .... has celebrated, with rare deftness,
the resilience of the human heart. ' |
David Robson,
The Sunday Telegraph.

‘I’m waiting for
the right person and the right place. When those come together,
fit like a key into a lock, then the other person will know
it too.’
Story
of My Face
‘One of the most compelling,
unsettling novels I’ve read in ages, which should
appeal to fans of classy thrillers and literary fiction
alike.’
Sarah Waters (Author of Fingersmith)
Independent On Sunday Books of the Year. |

Frankie Styne & the Silver Man
'Page's imaginative powers are electric. She has the ability to analyse the often nightmarish qualities of the human psyche, and, as a result, Frankie Styne and the Silver Man is a taut examination of the complex emotional ties that bind, the methods we employ to distance ourselves and our ambiguous powers of imagination. She is at once poignant and provocative, stomach-churningly distasteful, yet compulsively readable.'
Lucy Portch, Time Out.
