Another beautifully crafted collection of literary short stories form the pen of Margo Lanagan. One to reach for again and again * Children's Books Ireland: recommended reads * Each rereading will offer another chance to luxuriate in the richness of the language . . . For thoughtful and reflective young adult(and adult) readers. * Children's Books Ireland: recommended reads * The absolute pinnacle of short fiction writers for any age group . . . I'm sure Lanagan has been compared to Angela Carter elsewhere but the often over-looked strange stories of Robert Aickman also spring to mind. Lanagan has a beguiling imagination while her prose is luxurious quicksand and its all too easy for the reader to become dragged under. -- Keith Gray * The Scotsman * 10 emotional short stories - all beautifully and hauntingly written...These are not stories to race through, they are stories to be savoured. * Parents in Touch * We should always make time for short stories. Especially if they are written by Margo Lanagan...Everything is earthy even when it's magic, and so, so believable. I get lost in the worlds she creates and sometimes it's quite difficult to wake myself up when I've finished reading. -- Jill Murphy * The Book Bag * There is simply no better author than her...so raw that it made my eyes fog up even though I was just reading black and white print! * The Guardian Children's website * A writer that never ceases to bewilder, startle and enchant her readers. * Library Mice *
