What they say about the book:
 
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 [‘Pumping Up Napoleon’] seemed to me to have the seeds of something larger in it. The ending... is handled with poignancy and aplomb.”
