Sunday
Telegraph

Times

‘Fairly seethes with incident … from a master of the short, sharp shock’

Independent

‘Sad, ironic, nostalgic and illuminating glimpses into the dark corners of people’s lives … sparing, unsentimental, controlled prose with no words wasted. These are stories of loss, rejection and angst which provoke powerful emotion’

– Carla McKay,
Daily
Mail

‘This fine collection will give pleasure to anyone with regard for the carefully crafted and cunningly contrived narrative. Here is a collection of tales which provides many subtle pleasures’

– Peter Burton,
Daily
Express

–
Literary
Review
