The same chilling brilliance of Daphne du Maurier's most unsettling
short fiction
*FINANCIAL TIMES*
It's a rare writer who can create a world as convincingly over a
few pages as in a 600-page novel; Shipstead's fluency in both forms
is testament to the skill she modestly casts as a work in
progress
*Stephanie Merritt, GUARDIAN*
Shipstead observes people beautifully
*THE TIMES*
Has an innate charm of its own. Beautifully realised
*DAILY MAIL*
Shipstead's prose is lovely. Precise, vivid, vital
