The stories in All the Wrong Places slyly tap into our deepest human longing for love and connection, while never failing to surprise and entertain so much so that tears of laughter, recognition and sorrow commingle and are impossible to distinguish. This collection is simply a miracle. -- Barbara Graham The people in All the Wrong Places might be in the wrong place-Ireland, Hawaii, an artist's studio, the Grubbs' trailer-but Giles' book is the perfect place for any connoisseur of stories to be. -- Pamela Painter These stories are electric. Wickedly funny, they unfold at a breakneck pace, whisking the reader through surprise, delight, delicious alarm. Molly Giles can do in three pages what other writers do in three hundred. These are characters, and stories, with sharp edges, soft underbellies, and a glint in their eye. -- Caitlin Horrocks
