Fay Weldon: “These
stories are remarkable, and engrossing: sometimes funny, sometimes sinister, always accomplished. Some will be classics.”
Emma Darwin: “Maria Donovan’s
beautifully poised stories exploit the friction between the ordinary and the truly bizarre. The reader laughs, and shivers,
and finishes many with a lump in the throat."
And about the title story...
Carol Ann Duffy: "This compelling, at times laugh-out-loud,
at times disturbing, tale seemed to me to have the seeds of something larger in it."
