'A writer of linguistic brilliance, balm-bearing humanity and blissful originality' Scotsman
A. L. Kennedy has twice been selected as one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists and has won a host of other awards - including the Costa Book of the Year for her novel Day. She lives in London and is a part-time lecturer in creative writing at Warwick University.
Kennedy explores the dark byways and cul-de-sacs of love. She turns
her clear, clever prose unflinchingly on jealousy, perversion and
tangled desire. But she is as sympathetic as she is sharp in her
observations and profound in her thinking
*Observer*
Kennedy's great gift throughout for amused honesty, the clear-eyed
dissection of sexual and emotional hang-ups...gives the book its
rare cargo of resonance... It sparkles with beautiful
observation
*Independent on Sunday*
A revelation. It's the best piece of writing A. L. Kennedy has yet
done
*Independent*
The supremely original writer among a gifted generation of young
British fiction talents
*Scotland on Sunday*
A delight... Subtle, erotic, ambitious and accomplished
*New Statesman*
