Entitlement

By (author): Jonathan Bennett

“Bennett demonstrates a real talent for evoking the affectless, indulgent ‘eccentricities’ of the surpassingly (and perpetually) wealthy … Bennett manages it all deftly. He can weave a tale and has the chops to keep it all in a literary vein … this is a good book with a crackerjack ending.” — The Globe and Mail

“Bennett’s storytelling is effortless in its pace and time shifts, and his dialogue glints like a sharpened knife.” — The Walrus

BackLit bonus material includes an author interview, discussion questions, and recommended reading.

Reviews

Entitlement is an attractive read, and nicely covers a world that goes often uncovered in our own literatures.” — National Post


“[Entitlement] is told with conscientious pacing and an eerie final twist.” — Quill & Quire


“Peterborough author Jonathan Bennett’s second full-length novel, Entitlement, is a devastatingly earnest examination of power, secrets, and loyalty between friends. . . . Deftly written suspense ultimately gives way to an intense, unforgettable conclusion that will have readers ruminating long after the tale is all told.” — Scene Magazine


“Bennett’s storytelling is effortless in its pace and time shifts, and his dialogue glints like a sharpened knife.” — Walrus


“If you enjoy page-turning tension, Bennett has succeeded wildly. . . Crisp and comfortable at the same time, the professionalism in his work lures one to the clean, ordered world of the very rich.” — Peterborough Examiner
