Reviews

Her prose is wondrous: it is clean, deliberate; an aesthetic so certain of itself, it's breathtaking
*Daily Telegraph*

A unique and authentic voice that speaks to the reader across time and culture, heart to heart
*Boyd Tonkin*

(The Listener) is a masterpiece of subtlety and simplicitiy. The rest of the stories in this collection are every bit as crisp, ironic, elegant and ruthless
*Saga Magazine*
