Reviews

"In this thought-provoking collection Deirdre Thurston writes with lyricism and verve. She shines a light on the human condition with humor tempered with irony." -Joan Rosier-Jones, author of Waiting for Elizabeth "These very short, unconventional stories are full of wit, charm, and grace. These are people you know, seen through Thurston's acute lens that hides no flaws, whose stories are only just beginning." --Clifford Garstang, author of In an Uncharted Country "In Caught, Deirdre Thurston splashes her words onto the page like an artist brushing oil paint onto the canvas. She brings all five senses to bear as she immerses you into a moment in someone's life. " -Ron McManus, award-winning author of The Drone Enigma
