Fay Weldon: “These stories are remarkable, and engrossing: sometimes funny, sometimes sinister, always accomplished. Some

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."

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."
